Every volcano known to have erupted in the last 12,000 years, from Smithsonian's global inventory.
About this globe
Every volcano known to have erupted in the last 12,000 years, from the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program — each dot is one volcano. The chains of dots are subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives beneath another.
Indonesia, Japan, and the Andes light up; so does Iceland, sitting astride the mid-Atlantic ridge.
