Haleakalā (« house of the sun ») or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui.
This a panorama of the Haleakala Caldera on Maui. Early Hawaiians applied the name Haleakalā ("house of the sun") to the general mountain. At 10,025 feet Haleakala is the primary feature on the island of Maui. Contrary to popular belief, Haleakalā "crater" is not volcanic in origin, nor can it accurately be called a caldera which is formed when the summit of a volcano collapses to form a depression.
Haleakala has erupted three times in approximately the last 900 years. The last eruption has been estimated to have incurred 17th century, but the volcano is still considered active but in a dormant phase.
From this summit view one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep.
La Caldera Tennger, ubicada dentro del parque nacional Bromo Tengger Semeru, se encuentra al este de Java- Indonesia. El parque natural destaca por numerosas aspectos, como el hecho de poseer el único mar de arena volcánica de Indonesia, además del complejo volcánico surgido de la caldera del antiguo volcán Tennger, donde nuevos volcanes se han ido formando dentro de esta caldera más grande y antigua. En total hay cinco volcanes dentro la extinta caldera: el monte Bromo, derivación del nombre Brahma, el dios creador de los hindúes, el monte Batok, monte Kursi, monte Watangan y el monte Widodaren, que alberga una cueva del mismo nombre, considerada sagrada por la población local. Todos los volcanes se encuentran activos en la actualidad salvo el Monte Batok. Los cinco volcanes están rodeados por una amplia zona de arena, conocida como el Mar de Arena de Tengger, que a su vez está cercado por la escarpada pared de la caldera del antiguo volcán que los guarece, con casi diecieis kilómetros de diámetro.

A roadside view of the Pine Canyon caldera. The canyon which is NOT visible in this photo lies between the foreground and the background. The Pine Canyon caldera in located in the Chisos Mountains, a component of the Chisos mountains in the Big Bend National Park. It is the largest caldera in the Big Bend National Park. The dirt expelled from the mountain that was prior to the eruption covers hundreds of miles from the caldera.
As you look at the foreground, the Crown Mountain and part of Boot Rock are ladened with soil deposited from the eruption that formed the Pine Canyon caldera which occurred 32 million years ago

On the Greek island of Santorini lies (stands ?) the unique & picturesque village of Oia on the steep slope of a caldera .This most popular holiday destination is an oft photographed place.

Tengger Caldera in East Java (Indonesia), seen shortly after sunrise from Mount Penanjakan viewpoint (2,770 m).
In the foreground is Mount Batok (2,440 m), a perfectly shaped but not active volcano. The rather small steaming crater to the left is the active Bromo Volcano (2,329 m). And the impressive volcano in the background is Mount Semeru (3,676 m). Morning mist covers Segara Wedi, the so-called "Sea of Sands".
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!

The Valles Caldera is one of the most interesting destinations along the Jemez Mountain Trail.
Humans have inhabited and hunted the Valles Caldera since prehistoric times. Archaeologists have found spear points over 11,000 years old. Several indigenous tribes frequented the caldera, often migrating seasonally to hunt. They mined obsidian for spear and arrow points and used it for trade. Geologists have found obsidian from the Valles Caldera across the Southwest.
Many sites in the caldera are culturally significant to the neighboring pueblos, and all of the land is considered sacred.
European interests in the area began in the sixteenth century with the Spanish conquistadores, who claimed the land in the name of Philip II of Spain. The Nuevo México Province was created by Philip II of Spain and was officially settled during an expedition led by Juan de Oñate in 1598.
"Ownership rights" in the caldera were granted by the King of Spain as part of a Spanish land grant. When New Mexico became a territory of the United States in 1848, commercial ranching and logging interests moved into the caldera, which provoked conflict with the existing inhabitants. The caldera was a backdrop for the Indian wars with the U.S Army from 1850-1880.
In 1876 the caldera became part of the Baca Ranch, as as compensation for the termination of a prior land grant given to their family near Las Vegas during the colonial period.
During its operation as the Baca Ranch, it was over grazed and over logged. It was sold to the federal government in 2000 for $101 million.
When it became a National Preserve in December, 2013, the 89,000 acres of the Valles Caldera Preserve became accessible to the public. Some sacred sites were returned to the pueblos;
The 13.7-mile wide caldera is one of three “supervolcanoes” in the United States; the others are in Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming, and Long Valley Caldera in California. The last time the Valles Caldera erupted it emitted 150 cubic miles of lava, propelling ash as far as Iowa. That was 1.2 million years ago.
The mountain on the left is the highest point in the caldera, Redondo Peak, with an elevation of 11,253 ft (3,430 m). It is a resurgent lava dome located entirely within the caldera. Redondito to the right, on the edge of the Valles Calderos in Northern New Mexico. You can see the park headquarters in the lower right.
Happy Mountain Monday!
Take care and stay safe. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Sunrise on a beautiful Oahu morning in January. One of those rare days where as the fog clears, you can see all the way to the other islands. The trails here are somewhat insane. One wrong step could spell certain disaster in many parts, when you're not dangling from ropes that you pray are affixed well, or sliding around on mud. The fog cleared in parts, and this is slightly composited as the fog came in at different times, but all from the same location.
