I'm trying to figure out what the purpose of that "map" is. It's certainly attractive, but it doesn't even meet the standard of "$country's over there" while waving your arm in a vague general direction.

Are we in India?
:shrugs: Lets ask that guy over there eating those weird circular rice patties. That other dude with the sword doesn't look friendly...

There are currently 15 "active" supervolcanoes on planet Earth. The US has 5 all by itself. Four are West of the Sissimippi and one is in lower Alaska near the Yukon territory.

Chile has 3 that look conjoined on a map.

Japan has 2, one in the North and one in the far South.

Indonesia has 2, also at opposite ends of the country.

The three remaining are in Italy, Ruskiland and NE China.
