A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms when a volcano produces a very large eruption. So much magma is drained from below that the volcano collapses into the space left behind. A caldera that is erupting or has just erupted may contain hot ash, lava, or cinders from the eruption. Others may have hot springs as water is heated by hot rocks below ground. Otherwise you will not find any abnormal temperatures in a caldera.
