Of the 9 active supervolcanoes on the planet, only one of them is located in Central America. The volcano in question is known as Atitlan, which last erupted in 1856. It is the site of one of the world's largest caldera, which has formed in intervals due to 3 massive supereruptions. This video will discuss this little known supervolcano, and mention what its future hazards are. • If you would like to support this channel, consider becoming a patron at / geologyhub . • Another way to support this channel is to make an order via our gemstone and geology related etsy store at http://prospectingarizona.etsy.com. • This video is protected under “fair use”.
