The term caldera comes from Spanish caldera, and Latin caldaria, meaning "cooking pot". [6] In some texts the English term cauldron is also used, [7] though in more recent work the term cauldron refers to a caldera that has been deeply eroded to expose the beds under the caldera floor. [6]
The outer caldera of Askja, representing a prehistoric eruption, is about 50 km 2 (19 sq mi) in area, and there is evidence of other later caldera-forming events within it. These include the main summit caldera, that is about 8 km (5.0 mi) in diameter, to its north-east the 4 km (2.5 mi) diameter Kollur caldera, and the 1875 Öskjuvatn caldera ...
Krafla (Icelandic pronunciation: ⓘ) is a volcanic caldera of about 10 km (6.2 mi) in diameter with a 90 km (56 mi) long fissure zone. It is located in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region and is situated on the Iceland hotspot atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which forms the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

Valles Caldera is the younger of two calderas known at this location, having collapsed over and buried the older Toledo Caldera, which in turn may have collapsed over yet older calderas. The associated Cerros del Rio volcanic field , which forms the eastern Pajarito Plateau and the Caja del Rio , is older than the Toledo Caldera.
The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of a red (rather than black) volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (560 ft) wide, and 270 m (890 ft) across. Kerið's caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters at an age of approximately 6,500 years.

The caldera contains ash deposits and some dunes, but also a humid zone with reeds. [17] Within the caldera lies a 140-metre-high (460 ft), [18] 1.3-kilometre-wide (0.81 mi) [15] scoria cone [1] constructed out of phreatomagmatic material with an 80-metre-deep (260 ft), 150-metre-wide (490 ft) crater. Another crater, now reduced to remnants, is ...
