361:. As postulated, this caldera does not house the lake. The age of this large eruption of more than 100 cubic kilometres (24 cu mi) of magma was historically ill-defined due to several complexities and the literature gives a range from 40,000 years to 64,000 years ago with 47,400 ± 1500 years ago being recently quoted. What is not now challenged is that this was a paired eruption with a nearby vent in the

Technically significant surface vents can be well separated from a magma chamber and its associated area of caldera collapse immediately above. A recent extreme example with a basalt eruption was in
Iceland where the significant vent was over 40 km (25 mi) from the caldera collapse that
