Abstract
LAKE KUTTYARO, in the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan, is the western half of a circular caldera, which is one of the largest in the world, being about 20 km. in diameter. A small island at the centre of the lake and parasitic volcanoes in the other half of the caidera are supposed to have erupted after its formation.
