Two Massive Eruptions In The Americas Hiding In Plain Sight
Using mapping of ash deposits near and far from Cerro Blanco, Fernandez-Turiel and others estimate this eruption may have dumped over 100 km3 of volcanic debris (and possibly as high as 175 km3) on the landscape. Now, we don’t think they are on the same scale as Cerro Blanco or Ilopango, but they could easily rival Pinatubo in 1991 and the possible source of these eruptions is ~10-15 kilometers from Bend, Oregon.
