Global Magma Activity
Every point marks a volcano that has shaped our world — and may one day awaken again.
Supervolcanoes
Deep beneath the crust, ancient magma chambers awaken — vast enough to change the face of continents.
Mauna Loa — The Giant of Hawaii
Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on Earth, rising over 9 km from the ocean floor. Its massive shield shape covers half of Hawaii’s Big Island, and its eruptions are slow, steady, and awe-inspiring — a sleeping titan of fire.
Mount Kilimanjaro — The Sleeping King of Africa
Kilimanjaro stands proudly above the African plains at 5,895 m. This dormant stratovolcano hides three volcanic cones beneath its icy crown, a breathtaking reminder of the continent’s fiery origins.
Yellowstone — The Sleeping Titan of America
Hidden beneath the forests and geysers of Wyoming lies one of Earth’s most powerful supervolcanoes. The Yellowstone Caldera spans over 70 kilometers, its vast magma chamber breathing heat into the land above.
Campi Flegrei — The Fire Fields Beneath Naples
The Phlegraean Fields simmer quietly under southern Italy — a vast supervolcanic caldera stretching beneath Naples. Steam vents, earthquakes, and bubbling craters mark the surface of one of the most dangerous volcanic systems on Earth.
Volcanoes: Earth’s Fiery Heartbeat
Beneath the crust, molten rivers surge and pressure builds — each eruption a raw expression of the planet’s living power.
Mount Vesuvius — Italy
The infamous Vesuvius looms over Naples — silent yet restless. Its last major eruption in 1944 was a reminder of its deadly history.
Mount Etna — Sicily, Italy
Europe’s most active volcano, Etna, towers above Sicily with near-constant rumblings and glowing lava flows.
Mount Fuji — Japan
Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, covering Tokyo in ash. Dormant yet majestic.
Sakurajima — Kyushu, Japan
Sakurajima erupts frequently with ash plumes and lava fountains — a constant reminder of the fiery core beneath Japan’s southern islands.
Krakatoa / Anak Krakatau — Indonesia
The 1883 Krakatoa eruption reshaped the region and darkened global skies.
Mount Merapi — Java, Indonesia
Merapi, “The Mountain of Fire,” is among the most dangerous volcanoes on Earth.
Mount Tambora — Sumbawa, Indonesia
Tambora’s colossal 1815 eruption caused the “Year Without a Summer.”
Kīlauea — Hawaii, USA
Kīlauea’s near-constant eruptions reshape Hawaii’s Big Island — new land born from molten fire and sea.
Eyjafjallajökull — Iceland
In 2010, Eyjafjallajökull’s ash clouds grounded flights worldwide.
Popocatépetl — Mexico
Popocatépetl, the “Smoking Mountain,” lies dangerously close to Mexico City.
