      Apparently the biggest volcano in the world is actually under the ocean! It’s called Tamu Massif and is about 1000 miles east of Japan, in the Pacific Ocean.

      Following on from Alexandra, I’ve just found out that the biggest volcano in our solar system is on Mars, called Olympus Mons.
      It is 26km tall, that’s 3x the size of Mt Everest and 6x the size of Tamu Massif!
