25. The Toba caldera in Sumatra, Indonesia, produced the largest volcanic eruption in the last 2 million years. The caldera, a large, basinlike depression resulting from the explosion or collapse of the center of a volcano, is 30 by 100 kilometers, or about 19 miles by 62 miles, and has a total relief of 1,700 meters or slightly more than 1 mile. The caldera probably formed in stages: large eruptions occurred 840,000, 700,000 and 75,000 years ago. The most recent produced 2,800 times the eruption volume of the Mount St. Helen’s. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/features/Toba_Caldera.html MUCH BIGGER than Atitlán
