The volcanic craters that contain lakes are not extremely rare, however for a lake to form the volcano must have a low level of activity. If the temperature of the volcano gets too warm preceeding an eruption or shortly after an eruption the water will simply convert to steam and will not become a lake. However if the crater is cool enough and is enclosed, as long as there is a supply of water a crater lake will eventually form within the volcano.
