The Crater Lake, formed reportedly as a result of volcanic eruptions, covers an area of 0.5 hectares.

It is also estimated to be 11km deep and has never dried up within the West Africa sub-region, a tourist, Thomas Artu, has confirmed.

Mr Artu, the Public Relations Executive of Plateau Tourism Corporation, in an interview with newsmen in Jos on Sunday, said the Crater Lake was initially developed as a tourist site in Plateau.

“There are great folk tales handed from generations to generations about the Crater Lake and its significance”, NAN quoted him as saying.

“An olive tree located at the edge of it is believed to be so sacred that nobody dares to climb the tree without throwing seeds to the lake.
