Yellowstone Volcano is a large and active supervolcano located in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It covers an area of about 1,500 square miles and its caldera, which is the collapsed top of the volcano, is about 30 miles wide. It has the potential to have a major impact on the global climate if it were to erupt.
It is a super volcano,the biggest one on our planet.It is as big as almost the whole Yellowstone national park.For more info go at:

It is believed that Yellowstones magma chamber is at least 2500 KM2. This is based on both seismic analysis as well as past eruptive episodes. As a minimum, there is not possible way that the magma chamber can be any less than 1500 KM2 since the volcano has put out more eruptive material than that in a single episode of eruption. However, these numbers are simply a hypothesis and are open to interpretation by scientists.
It is more than thirty miles from the north rim to the south rim.
