Some scientists, however, think that the two nested craters near the image's center (known as Siloe Patera) could be calderas, the collapsed remnants of an ancient supervolcano. On Earth, a supervolcano eruption produces at least 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers) of volcanic material, which is powerful enough to significantly alter climates around the globe. The most recent supervolcano eruption on Earth occurred in April 1815, when Indonesia's Mount Tambora spewed so much ash into the atmosphere that global temperatures dropped by approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit, crippling food production and resulting in famine across the Northern Hemisphere. According to the ESA, "Supervolcanoes occur when magma is trapped below the surface, leading to a huge built up in pressure.

All of that aside though, zoos are, in general, enjoyable places. Zoos that contain animals, that is. But isn’t that the only kind of zoo there is? Well, we’re sorry to disappoint you; until the very recent future, another kind of zoo existed – human zoos. That’s right – human beings in captivity, and exhibited – funnily, to other human beings who paid to see them. Believe us? No? Maybe you will after you see these pictures. 1. These Selk’Nam natives were exhibited in human zoos while being taken to Europe. Carl Hagenbeck is often credited as being the man who made the zoo what it is today, creating enclosures without bars, and closer to the animal’s natural habitat. However, a lesser known fact is that he was also the first person to exhibit humans and create a “human zoo”; in 1889, he captured – with
