The Old Man of the Lake is a 30-foot (9 m) tall tree stump, most likely a hemlock, that has been bobbing vertically in Oregon's Crater Lake since at least 1896. The stump is about 2 feet (61 cm) in diameter at the waterline and stands approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) above the water. Its surface has been bleached white due to photodegradation. The exposed end of the floating tree is splintered and worn but wide and buoyant enough to support a person's weight.

  • L'Old Man of the Lake est un bois flotté, probablement un tronc de tsuga, qui flotte verticalement dans les eaux du Crater Lake, dans l'Oregon, depuis au moins 1896. Grâce à l'eau froide du lac, ce tronc d'arbre est relativement bien préservé. (fr)
  • L'Old Man of the Lake (traducibile in vecchio del lago) è un fusto d'albero, in origine appartenuto probabilmente a una tsuga, che galleggia verticalmente nel lago Crater, bacino vulcanico situato nell'omonimo parco nazionale in Oregon, negli Stati Uniti d'America. L'Old Man of the Lake, che si presume galleggi sulla superficie del lago dal 1896, non è radicato sul fondo e si muove liberamente sotto l'azione dei moti ondosi e del vento, motivo per cui i suoi movimenti sono impossibili da prevedere. Questo fattore costringe gli equipaggi delle imbarcazioni che navigano nel lago Crater a comunicarsi reciprocamente e periodicamente la posizione del moncone per questioni di sicurezza. (it)

  • Als Old Man of the Lake (zu deutsch Alter Mann des Sees) wird ein etwa neun Meter langer Baumstumpf bezeichnet, der mindestens seit 1896 aufrecht im Crater Lake im Crater-Lake-Nationalpark in Oregon (USA) schwimmt. Der Durchmesser des Stammes beträgt etwa 60 Zentimeter, und er ragt etwa 120 Zentimeter aus dem Wasser heraus. Das Alter des Stammes, der vermutlich von einer Hemlocktanne stammt, wird auf über 400 Jahre geschätzt. Auf ihm wächst Moos der Gattung Fontinalis, das normalerweise nur unter Wasser zu finden ist. Der Stamm schwimmt stets aufrecht; Versuche, ihn – etwa durch Daraufstellen eines Menschen – zum Kippen zu bringen, scheiterten. Er bewegt sich, vom Wind getrieben, im See. (de)

The exposed end of the floating tree is splintered and worn but wide and buoyant enough to support a person's weight. Fontinalis, a moss present in the waters of Crater Lake at a depth of 394 feet (120 m), also grows on the Old Man of the Lake, the only place the moss is found near the surface. (en)
