A bottomless lake exists in the crater of an extinct volcano.

Infact verdict: Mixed (46/100).

The claim that there is a bottomless lake in the crater of an extinct volcano is not supported by the evidence. Crater Lake in Oregon, often cited in such contexts, is the deepest lake in the United States but is not bottomless. It was formed by the collapse of Mount Mazama and is fed by rain and snow, with its water level fluctuating due to weather changes. No credible sources confirm the existence of a truly bottomless lake in any volcanic crater.
