Description: Hole-in-the-Ground is a fascinating geological formation located in the Fort Rock Basin of central Oregon. This massive maar volcanic crater, approximately one mile in diameter and 500 feet deep, was formed by a volcanic explosion when magma came into contact with groundwater, causing a powerful steam eruption. The resulting crater is a striking feature in the high desert landscape, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the region's volcanic past. Its remote location and dramatic appearance make it a popular destination for hikers, geologists, and photographers seeking to explore Oregon's natural wonders.
