What is the approximate depth of the caldera (from the rim down to the floor)?

The question is based on Map T-2, the “Umnak, Alaska,” topographic map (scale 1:250,000; contour interval 200 feet), Map T-21b, a satellite image; and Figures 35-3 and 35-4, a shaded relief map and a stereogram showing the Okmok Caldera (53°25'33"N, 168°07'38"W) on Umnak Island in the Aleutian Islands.
What will be an ideal response?
