A caldera is an extremely large version of a crater. Yellowstone National Park is enclosed in a volcanic caldera; the rim of it is disguised as lush, green mountains. Supervolcanoes are not the only volcanic systems with calderas, though. The island of Fogo, Cape Verde, is a caldera with a peak stratovolcano, Pico, at it's center. Also, Kilauea in Hawaii has a summit caldera. Craters, like Pu'u O'o (also in Kilauea) are much smaller, but are basically the same.
