Abstract

The article reports that a supervolocano may be brewing underneath Chile, with a cold interior that is upending ideas about triggers of huge eruptions. Topics discussed include forces unleashed by historic supervolcanoes, how supervolcanoes erupt, concerns with the stone-cold temperature of Laguna del Maule and how frozen systems melt and mobilize so rapidly.
