What is a volcanic crater filled with water?

A volcanic crater filled with water is known as a crater lake. These lakes form when rainwater, melted snow, or groundwater accumulates in the depression left by a volcanic eruption. Crater lakes can vary in size and depth and often have unique ecosystems. Some well-known examples include Crater Lake in Oregon and Lake Toba in Indonesia.
