Worlds largest super volcano discovered in Philippines - Nearly 3x the size of Yellowstone caldera!
A team including members from GNS Science have identified an ancient mega-volcano that could have the largest known caldera on Earth.

The 150km (93.2 miles) wide feature is on the crest of Benham Rise, an oceanic plateau off the Philippines coast. In comparison, the caldera at Taupo; is about 35km (21.8 miles) wide, and that at Yellowstone about 60km (37.3 miles).

Could be an impact crater also, they're not sure yet.

They mention that a couple times in the article. However, the numerous models run on the bathymetry data clearly indicated it was a caldera, not impact crater.
