Next caldera eruption will not be in Yellow Stone.

I agree. While Yellowstone may get a lot of attention due to it's location, but the real danger people should be watching is Kikai Caldera in Japan.

From: The WIKI

Kikai Caldera was the source of the Akahoya eruption, one of the largest eruptions during the Holocene (10,000 years ago to present). About 6,300 years ago or 4,300 BC, pyroclastic flows from that eruption reached the coast of southern Kyūshū up to 100 km (62 mi) away, and ash fell as far as Hokkaidō. The eruption produced about 150 km³ of tephra, giving it a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 7 and making it one of the most explosive in the last 10,000 years, ranking alongside Santorini, Changbaishan, Crater Lake, Kurile Lake and Tambora

From: Post Courier February 13, 2018

A research paper published in Nature Scientific Reports states a lava dome is expanding within the Kikai Caldera.
This is just 50km south of Kyushu — Japan’s most southerly main island.
The dome itself is 9.5km wide. The seabed has been forced upwards some 610 meters by more than 31 cubic kilometres of lava.
Its peak sits just 30m beneath the ocean waves.
But the dome is not in itself a problem.
It’s what it represents.
It means a vastly bigger crucible of magma below has begun building up pressure once again.
If it bursts, researchers say it could kill some 100 million people.

So while Yellow Stone may get more attention, this growing giant is more likely to blow then the American Super Volcano. Scary stuff.

jan mayen had an few nice EQ's last months…...

It wasn't all that long ago that Campi Flegrei/Volcano Solfatara near to Naples in Italy was going to be 'the next big one'.Then like all the other 'next big ones' not a lot happened.

Lets hope that one doesn't go off, it would make Pompeii look like a science experiment. Naples and surrounding area would be toast as well as the 1.5 million people that live in the area. PBS has recently been showing a documentary about the region, it's very interesting and well worth the watch.

As I would imagine they all share the same magma chamber,Astroni and Vesuvius would probably get quite angry as well.

Yes they do, the Campanian volcanic arc includes Vesuvius (Pompeii) and Phlegraean Fields (Naples) which includes Campi Flegrei and many others volcanoes. I believe there is 24 volcanoes in total. Camp Flegrei is the one they're really concerned with, it would be catastrophic to say the least.

I would also guess that Etna and Stromboli share the same magma chamber as both seem to be almost constantly active?

I did the walking tour around the bottom of the crater of Astroni and it's scale is just mind blowing.It's a shame I couldn't find anywhere to get a photo looking down into it from the top.

I don't believe they do connect, Stromboli is in the Calabrian volcanic arc on the Eurasian plate. Vesuvius is in the Campanian volcanic arc on the African plate. At least thats the way I understand what I've read.

I gather that Santorini is currently dormant. Could it be a candidate? Not well up on such things, just curious cos we like our hols to Greece.

In terms of supervolcano time, it may still be the next big one. Just because the press published a bunch of articles on it and nothing happened three days later means nothing in terms of geology. Fact is that the system is showing more signs of life than is comfortable meaning it could be building up to something, but since there aren't many actual supervolcanic eruptions that modern science has directly observed, we don't really know what the run-up would look like.

It could be a slow process of decades or more, or it could be really, really fast. No one actually knows because we've never seen it happen. At best, they can extrapolate based on what they know about other, more traditional volacanoes, and they really don't know all that much about them, either. More certainly, but not enough to get them right all the time, either.

Bárðarbunga could erupt soon. It's erupted recently on:
1996
2010
2014–2015
It shouldn't be too severe of an eruption and it's only a prediction that it might erupt within maybe the next 5 years.

Yellowstone is going to erupt eventually, maybe not in my lifetime or even this century but it will build up to something.
If Yellowstone started to spike in activity I would suggest letting nature do what it's supposed to do and get as far away from the harmful zones as possible. We need a super volcano to fix the changing climate anyway, NASA's idea won't work.

I was talking about Etna though,which is only about 50 miles or so from Stromboli?

Maybe this helps.

Mount Etna is associated with the subduction of the African plate under the Eurasian plate, which also produced Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei, but is part of a different volcanic arc (the Calabrian rather than Campanian). A number of theories have been proposed to explain Etna's location and eruptive history, including rifting processes, a hot spot, and intersection of structural breaks in the crust. Scientists are still debating which best fits their data, and are using a variety of methods to build a better image of the Earth's crust below the volcano.

Thanks.yes it does.

you are very wrong, the next Caldrea forming eruption will most likely be in or very near long valley california and ill tell you why, because the last time that doozy erupted was 760,000.00 years ago. and I suspect it will be as big as the last eruption at Yellowstone.

I tend to believe that calderas and areas of the world that experience basalt floods are the result of impact events that de-stabilize the crust at their global antipode due the shock waves.
