9 Most Beautiful Crater Lakes In The World

Crater lakes are a weird natural phenomenon. As the name pretty much suggests, it’s a crater that has, over the course of many years, formed into a lake and filled up with water. Not only is it a rare thing (since it requires an asteroid to hit the Earth or a volcano to erupt), it’s also gorgeous to look at.

If you ever want to go on a crater lake hiking trip, take a look at the lakes we’ve got lined up for you below. They’ll make any trip worth doing and they’ll give you some unique pictures to show your family and friends.
