Source and limitations

Smithsonian Institution, Global Volcanism Program; seven volcano profiles, retrieved 9 September 2026.

A curated selection, not a complete catalogue. Values are GVP elevations above sea level; circle size does not represent eruption magnitude, activity or hazard. Locations represent catalogue reference points rather than entire volcanic systems. Each point links to its source profile.
