Mount Tarumae is located in the Shikotsu-Toya National Park in Hokkaidō, Japan. It is located near both Tomakomai and Chitose towns and can be seen clearly from both. It is on the shores of Lake Shikotsu, a caldera lake. Tarumae is a 1,041 metre active andesitic stratovolcano, with a lava dome.

Mount Pico

@ 2008-05-18 09:03:31
Mount Pico (Ponta do Pico, in Portuguese) is a stratovolcano and the highest point on Pico Island in the Azores, a chain of volcanic islands off the coast of Portugal. It reaches an altitude of 2,351 meters (7,713 ft) above sea level, which makes it the highest point in Portugal and also in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Pico is more than twice the elevation of any other peak in the Azores.

Pico Alto the round crater about 500 meters (1,600 ft) in diameter and 30 meters deep tops the volcano, with Piquinho (Pico Pequeno) a small volcanic cone rising 70 meters within it to form the true summit. Historical eruptions of Pico have occurred from vents on its flanks rather than the summit crater. In 1562–64, an eruption on the southeast flank produced lava flows which reached the sea. Another flank eruption in 1718 also produced flows which reached the coast. The most recent eruption occurred in December 1720.

Hiking trails are available and the ascent to the summit can be made in around two to four hours from the trailhead for fit persons depending on weather which can be quite treacherous especially in winter months.]]>

Chaiten Volcano Eruption - 6 May, 2008

@ 2008-05-06 17:04:35
Chile's Chaiten volcano spewed clouds of gray smoke, hot rocks and toxic gas on Tuesday, forcing authorities to issue an evacuation order for the more than 200 people who remained in the town of Chaiten, emergency officials said.
The volcano, which is about about 750 miles (about 1,210 kilometers) south of the Chilean capital, Santiago, began erupting early Friday, raining gray ash onto Chaiten. The small city is on the Corcovado Gulf, in southern Chile.
The volcano last erupted around 7,420 B.C., according to the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project.]]>

Mauna Loa volcano lava flow
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: dda
@ 2008-02-22 17:13:24
The main volcanic hazard at Mauna Loa is lava flows. Most flows advance at about walking pace and present little danger to human life, but eruptions at Mauna Loa can be more intense than those at Kīlauea; for example, the 1984 eruption emitted as much lava in three weeks as Kīlauea's current eruption produces in three years. Such high emission rates can generate comparatively fast-moving flows.
Two eruptions of Mauna Loa have destroyed villages. In 1926, the village of Hoʻōpūloa Makai was overrun by lava flows. In 1950, the most voluminous eruption ever seen at Mauna Loa sent lava flows racing towards the sea. The village of Hoʻokena Mauka was destroyed on 2 June 1950 by the advancing flows. Hilo is partly built on lava from an 1880 eruption and is at risk from further lava flows. The brief but intense 1984 eruption saw lava flow towards Hilo, but it had not reached any buildings when the eruption stopped.

Whakaari/White Island Volcano Eruption
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: mlc1us
@ 2007-12-26 12:23:51
Whakaari/White Island is an active andesite stratovolcano, situated 48 km from the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty. It is one of the four islands in the Olive island chain. The nearest mainland towns are Whakatane and Tauranga. The island is roughly circular, about two km in diameter, and rises to a height of 321 m above sea level. However this is only the peak of a much larger submarine mountain, which rises up to 1600 m above the nearby seafloor.

The Smelter Knolls consist of several coalescing rhyolite domes and flows with an estimated total erupted volume of 2.2 cubic kilometers. No pyroclastic deposits are exposed, although flow breccias and basal vitrophyres are present. The lava is topaz rhyolite. The two main bodies of the Smelter Knolls are separated by a north-south-trending normal fault, consistent with the orientation of normal faults in Fumarole Butte 15 kilometers to the north. Nearby mafic volcanism dated at 6.1 and 0.3 million years bracket the silicic episode. Smelter Knolls is 24 kilometers west-northwest of Delta, Utah. ]]>

@ 2007-01-13 08:20:39
Mount Cameroon, one of Africa's largest volcanoes, rises to 4095 m above the coast of west Cameroon. The massive steep-sided volcano of dominantly basaltic-to-trachybasaltic composition forms a volcanic horst constructed above a basement of Precambrian metamorphic rocks covered with Cretaceous to Quaternary sediments. More than 100 small cinder cones, often fissure-controlled parallel to the long axis of the massive 1400 cu km volcano, occur on the flanks and surrounding lowlands. A large satellitic peak, Etinde (also known as Little Cameroon), is located on the southern flank near the coast. Historical activity, the most frequent of west African volcanoes, was first observed in the 5th century BC by the Carthaginian navigator Hannon. During historical time, moderate explosive and effusive eruptions have occurred from both summit and flank vents. A 1922 SW-flank eruption produced a lava flow that reached the Atlantic coast, and a lava flow from a 1999 south-flank eruption stopped only 200 m from the sea.]]>

Whole island of Iwojima is of vulcanic origin but Suribachi is the only obviously volcanic feature.
Isolating and capturing Suribachi first was the most important goal of the Battle of Iwojima and it was achieved on February 23, 1945, four days after the battle began.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20878/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20878/ Sat, 24 Jun 2006 12:02:02 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20878/ 24.74922800 141.29014500 <![CDATA[Farallon de Pajaros]]>

Farallon de Pajaros is the westernmost island in the Northern Mariana Islands chain. It is also the westernmost point in the United States if you include insular areas and exclude International Date Line rules. Its highest point is 1,180 feet (360 m) above sea level. It is 1.2 miles in diameter, and it is a volcanic island that has had many eruptions.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20869/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20869/ Sat, 24 Jun 2006 11:14:58 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20869/ 20.54480300 144.89155800 <![CDATA[Maug Islands]]>

Three islands, the caldera of an ancient volcano form the Maug Islands of the Northern Mariana Islands and are roughly 2 square kilometers in area.Where the volcano cone was is now a deep and spacious natural harbor. Steep cliffs border the islands and the landscape on the north and west islands is dominated by columns of basalt resembling tombstones. Vegetation on the islands consist mostly of grasses with a few coconut palms. During World War II (1939-1945) the islands were used by the Japanese as a weather station.]]>

Pagan Island is an island of the Northern Mariana approximately 320 kilometers north of Saipan. Pagan has an area of approximately 48 square kilometers and consists of two stratovolcanoes joined by a narrow strip of land. It was inhabited during historical times, but a 1981 eruption forced the evacuation of its inhabitants. The 2000 census reports no residents.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20866/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20866/ Sat, 24 Jun 2006 10:37:26 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20866/ 18.10637100 145.76660200 <![CDATA[Lucifer Hill]]>

From Wikipedia:

Candlemas Island lies about two miles from Vindication Island and the two are separated by the Nelson Channel.

On the NW flank of the island is an active stratovolcano, Lucifer Hill, that showed signs of activity in 1911 and glowing lava flows during 1953-1954. Mount Andromeda and Mount Perseus are both glacier covered peaks on the island.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20100/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20100/ Fri, 09 Jun 2006 14:46:21 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/20100/ -57.08254600 -26.74073700 <![CDATA[Mount Cleveland]]>

Mount Cleveland is a mountain that forms the western half of Chuginadak Island in the central Aleutian Islands of Alaska. This symmetrical stratovolcano is one of the most active of the volcanoes in the Aleutians and has been the site of numerous eruptions in the last two centuries; the most recent eruption occurred in 1994, although it has spewed numerous clouds of ash since then, most recently on May 23, 2006. In 1944, a U.S. Army serviceman was reportedly killed by an eruption from Mount Cleveland, the only known eruption-related fatality in the Aleutian Islands.

At an elevation of 5,676 feet (1,730 m), this volcano is the highest in the Islands of Four Mountains group. (Wikipedia.com)]]>
