Fisher Caldera is located just 13 miles (21 km) from the Mount Westdahl volcano. The largest volcanic eruption on Earth during the Holocene Epoch (the last 11,700 years) occurred at Fisher Caldera in 8700 BCE.

Eickelberg Peak is an Aleutian Range stratovolcano located along the west rim of Fisher Caldera on Unimak Island of the Aleutian Islands. [5] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into the caldera and from the other slopes into tributaries of the Pogromni River.

The four largest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the Holocene Epoch (the last 11,700 years) occurred at volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. They are the eruptions at Fisher Caldera (Alaska, 8700 BC), Kurile Lake (Kamchatka, 6450 BC), Kikai Caldera (Japan, 5480 BC) and Mount Mazama (Oregon, 5677 BC). [13]
Both Campi Flegrei and the Long Valley Caldera are known as supervolcanoes, a term used to describe a volcano that at one time has erupted more than 240 cubic miles of material. Michael Poland, a ...
A long-quiet yet massive super volcano, dubbed the "Long Valley Caldera," has the potential to unleash a fiery hell across the planet, and the magma-filled mountain has a history of doing so.
A volcanic eruption that rates a five on the VEI — including Vesuvius and Mount St. Helens — releases about a cubic kilometer of magma. A six on the VEI, which includes the Krakatoa eruption ...
The Fisher Caldera is a volcanic crater in the west-central part of Unimak. Some characteristics include many volcanic cones and undrained lakes. It is named for Bernard Fisher, a U.S. Geological Survey geologist who was killed in Umnak Pass.
