This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Michael Hardy (talk | contribs) at 20:44, 10 December 2003 (Thinking that "caldera" is probably Latin, I suspected the plural is "calderae", but according to OED, it is a Spanish corruption of a Latin word, and OED reports no irregular plural.).

This article is about volcanic calderas. There is also a corporation called Caldera Systems.

A caldera is a volcanic crater which usually has a flat surface, at the bottom, formed by the hardening of a lava lake.

Yellowstone National Park is largely contained within the Yellowstone caldera.
