Submarine calderas

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 1 min

Volcanic calderas that are partially or fully submerged under the water of a larger ocean or lake, sometimes forming a reef, bay or harbor.

Not to be confused with atolls, where a sunken seamount has grown a ring of coral islands surrounding a lagoon.

See also Category:Volcanic crater lakes, which are lakes that fill the craters of otherwise terrestrial volcanoes.
