Which City Is Home To The \'Crookedest Street In The World\'?

Did You Know!

New Mexico is home to one of North America’s least-discussed supervolcanoes.

The Valles Caldera, located in the Jemez Mountains, is a massive volcanic crater formed by an eruption roughly 1.25 million years ago—an event so powerful it reshaped the region’s landscape. What makes this surprising is that, unlike Yellowstone, most Americans don’t realize this supervolcano even exists.

Today, the area still shows geothermal activity, including hot springs and volcanic gases, which scientists closely monitor. While it’s considered dormant, not extinct, it remains one of the most geologically significant—and quietly fascinating—features of the American Southwest.
