Marshall!  The solution to the clue word:  astrovolcano: was Katmai;  certainly 
a volcanic region in 
Alaska, but hardly an astrovolcano, if such a word does exist, which seems 
unlikely, , given my 
inexpert search and those of others who are far more skilled than I am!

Is there any chance the puzzle might be referring to Mons Olympus?  Its the 
biggest volcano found in 
the solar system.
