The Open Volcano Database
VolcanoDB is a comprehensive volcano database cataloging every known Holocene volcano on Earth. Our records span 1,740 volcanoes across 98countries, from the most active volcanoes erupting today to dormant peaks that last rumbled thousands of years ago. Each volcano profile includes full eruption history, VEI ratings, elevation data, tectonic context, and satellite imagery sourced from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program. Whether you are researching famous volcanoes like Vesuvius and Krakatoa, exploring the different types of volcanoes from stratovolcanoes to shield volcanoes, assessing the most dangerous volcanoes near populated areas, or planning volcano tours in Hawaii, Iceland, or Indonesia, VolcanoDB gives you the data and tools to explore Earth's volcanic landscape in one place. Our interactive volcano map lets you browse every volcanic site on the planet, filter by eruption date and type, and drill into detailed profiles with real eruption timelines.
