| Valles Caldera (caldera) | The 22-km-wide Valles caldera was formed by 2 very large explosive eruptions 1.7 and 1.2 million years ago. Post caldera eruptions formed Redondo Peak dome inside the caldera. The last eruptions of the caldera happened 50,000-60,000 years ago, depositing rhyolite ignimbrite... [mehr] |
