Calderra


A Caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption.In 1815, the German geologist Leopold von Buch visited the Las CaƱadas Caldera Teide, Tenerife and the Caldera de Taburiente, La Palma, both in the Canary Islands. When he published his memoirs he introduced the term "caldera" into the geological vocabulary.The Deschutes river is a river that runs through the Calderra.It is a very strong river with a lot of white water. It has some interesting bugs about the size of a quarter. When I went there it was very cold,but you could dry off on a rock like a lizard. There is also some clay/mud by a cove. I wanted to climb a waterfall,but I will do it next time. My favorite thing to do was to be in the water then hop into a cove. The cove was very nice, it had spots to put your sticks,and it was big.The cove was probably made by water running through it. The sandy shore of the calderra is one of the coolest things about it. Imagine walking on a shandy shore with beautiful plants all around you. Also the river right behind you.
