Scientists have discovered the MOST GIGANTIC SUPERVOLCANO on Earth...

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, northeast of the Philippines, lies a geological sensation: the Apolaki Caldera - the largest volcano in the world, larger than any other known caldera on Earth. With a diameter of over 150 kilometers, this gigantic underwater volcano surpasses even the famous Yellowstone. In this video, we dive into the depths of the ocean and explore the fascinating history of the formation of this mega caldera. How could such a massive volcano develop unnoticed beneath the water's surface? What volcanic forces lie dormant in the Apolaki Caldera, and what threats could it pose to humanity? Learn more about the geology of the Philippine Sea and the discovery of this massive volcano, which was only mapped a few years ago. We take a look at the latest research, possible future eruptions and the incredible dimension of this natural phenomenon. Ready for a journey to the greatest mysteries of the earth?
