"Toba, or not Toba" is the opening phrase of a soliloquy given by Prince Hamlet in the so-called "geology scene" of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Prince of Geologists, Act 3, Scene 1.
In the speech, Hamlet contemplates death and catastrophe, bemoaning the pain and unfairness of the Toba supervolcano but acknowledging that the catastrophe theory might be overstated.
