The Aleutian Islands, which are an archipelago of volcanic origin, may turn out to be a "hidden" supervolcano, which, according to geologists, can surpass the famous Yellowstone in its power. This was reported by scientists of the American Geophysical Union.
The Aleutian Islands, forming an arc from the southwestern part of Alaska to Kamchatka, are considered one of the most seismically active zones on Earth. According to American geologists, Mount Cleveland is considered the most restless volcano, which may have one common caldera with the other four stratovolcanoes.
Currently, the conclusions of scientists are just a hypothesis, but if it is confirmed, the supervolcano discovered in the United States may be many times larger in size and power than the famous Yellowstone volcano.
Geologists intend to continue their research, as the seismic activity that has increased in the last twenty years in this region does not give researchers peace of mind. If t
