Besides the Yellowstone Caldera, the Lake Toba Caldera in north-central Sumatra bears watching as that is still considered by volcanologists as an active volcano. The Lake Toba caldera is capable of an eruption that could blacken the skies of the entire planet for at least several months.

Yup.

When you read about the original eruption of Toba, it’ll make your hair curl!

Hundreds of millions of pounds of sulfur dioxide was released. The debris spread all over the planet.
Global temperatures fell by ten degrees centigrade for A THOUSAND YEARS!!

Human population was reduced to around 5,000 people worldwide.
