A good candidate for that title is the Island Park Caldera. This caldera formed during the largest eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano about 2.1 million years ago. It is 40 by 50 miles across and was created by one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the last 10 million years, second only to the Lake Toba eruption 74,000 years ago.
