International Mountain Day:  Major Volcanic Mountains Around the World

By Team Aakash Byju's | 11th December 2022

Mauna Loa

Mauna Loa in Hawaii is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, which has been continually erupting since the early nineteen eighties.

Even though it has been more than 300 years since Mount Fuji in Japan last erupted, it is still considered to be an active volcano.

Mount Fuji

Mayon Volcano

In the entire world, the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines is one of the best-formed and most symmetrical volcanoes.

Kelimutu Volcano

Kelimutu Volcano in Indonesia is filled with beautifully coloured lakes that change from stunning glacial blue to green to muddy red to black, depending on the volcanic action.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the sleeping giant of all volcanoes, which has not erupted for over one hundred and fifty thousand years.

Sakurajima

Sakurajima in Japan looks like an inoffensive mound of rock. It shoots plumes of ash and smokes 16,000 feet up into the air.

Mount Etna

Mount Etna in Italy is the most active volcano in the world, which erupts regularly and occasionally blows smoke rings.
