Oregon’s spectacular Crater Lake is (at its deepest) 1,932 feet deep — the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is in a volcanic caldera that was formed 6900 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. You can also see the lake’s Wizard Island in this photo.

Out in the Atlantic Ocean is a small patch of high-res photos where you’ll find the island of Bermuda, an internally self-governing island overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Reader Patrick pointed out a Cruise Liner docked to the East of the island and Bill Beaty noticed a “wave-radiating aperture” for all you physicists.

Rick Vincent sent us what he describes as ‘The White Snake of Baja‘. Looks like a river, but it is HUGE. You can still see it all the way out here!

Loads of submissions for this one, and man it is really, really big. Check out how far zoomed out we are! Also of note are the road around the rim, the visitors centre, and what appears to be a footbridge crossing the river.

No, not strawberry fields but a huge amount of Cranberry Fields (or bogs) in Massachusetts.
