Earth's Largest Volcano-Mauna Loa,Hawaii

The largest volcano in the world is Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii. There have been references to Yellowstone as the largest "volcanic system in North America," but most, if not all, scientific organizations recognize Mauna Loa as the largest single volcano. In fact, if one wanted to consider greater volcanic systems, one might well consider the whole island of Hawaii, with over 4000 square miles and five volcanoes, the largest "volcanic system"...but then, Hawaii is not in North America. The world's largest volcano is Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii. It only rises 4 km above sea level, but from its own base under the ocean (and into the ocean floor), its summit is just over 9 km above its base (approximately 30,000 feet). It also erupts "regularly", with the latest eruption being in 1984. The highest volcano in the US is Mount Bona in Alaska, and the highest volcano in the continental US is Mount Rainer in Washington.

The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest volcano in North America and it also has carried the "title" of the largest volcano on Earth but that is inaccurate. (That dinstinction thus far goes to Tamu Massif Volcano at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean)
