The Potential Supervolcano in Alaska; Beneath Mount Cleveland
In Alaska, a significant amount of evidence is pointing towards a startling conclusion; there might be a supervolcano located within the state. This potential supervolcano and associated large caldera would encompass 6 Alaskan volcanoes, including the almost always erupting Mount Cleveland. Although more studies are needed, this supervolcano would be the fourth active system in the United States alongside Yellowstone in Wyoming, Long Valley in California, and the Valles Caldera in New Mexico.
