An interactive volcano map and list of the world's volcanoes and their last eruption — search this active volcanoes map near you, and filter by how recently they erupted or by type. Data from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program. Free, no sign-up.
Live snapshot · As of 12 Oct 2026, 38 volcanoes have an ongoing or recent eruption worldwide. Source: Smithsonian GVP.
This is a catalogue, not an eruption-warning system. It shows volcanoes and their last recorded eruption from the Smithsonian GVP — it does not issue alerts or predict eruptions. For current activity, follow the GVP Weekly Volcanic Activity Report and your local volcano observatory.
Open it and the world's volcanoes load — no account, no key.
Every Holocene volcano is a dot on the world map, coloured by how recently it last erupted — red for volcanoes active since 2000, fading to grey for those with no confirmed Holocene eruption.
Narrow the list to volcanoes that have erupted since 2000 or 1900, or to a type such as stratovolcano, shield or caldera. The map and list update instantly.
Tap "Near me" or search a place to sort by distance — the nearest active volcano to you moves to the top of the list — and mark your position on the map. Each volcano links to its official Smithsonian GVP page for the full eruptive history.
