Mauna Loa is the world's largest volcano.
Infact verdict: Mixed (52/100).
The claim that Mauna Loa is the world's largest volcano is partially true. According to NASA and other reliable sources, Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano by mass and volume. However, Tamu Massif is now considered the largest volcano overall. Therefore, the claim is misleading as it oversimplifies the current understanding of volcanic size rankings.
