-A large magma chamber in eastern California near Mammoth Mountain blows in a VEI 7 eruption. ​ The area still hosts hot springs and a geothermal plant, but the magma is gone from the pool.  The crater filled with water at some point and formed a lake that drained roughly 100,000 years ago.  Ash from the eruption likely covered much of the western United States.+A large magma chamber in eastern California near Mammoth Mountain blows in a VEI 7 eruption. ​ The area still hosts hot springs and a geothermal plant, but very little ​magma remains in the pool.  The crater filled with water at some point and formed a lake that drained roughly 100,000 years ago.  Ash from the eruption likely covered much of the western United States.
