- | 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.
