      No Tom sorry! No-one does 🙂 Volcanoes are very unpredictable because they are very complicated. However, the more we study them, the better idea we will have. We know that super eruptions have happened in the past, and there’s no reason to think why they won’t happen in the future. The last really big one was in New Zealand. Check this out:
