13. Yellowstone Caldera, USA – The Yellowstone national park witnesses many tourists from far and wide because of its hot springs and erupting geysers! But what many might not know is that it all sits on top of a super volcano, which if erupts, could wipe out entire Western America!

12. Mt. Vesuvius, Italy – This is probably the most dangerous volcano in the world today, as not only does it have a history of exploding every 20 years or so, but it is also located close to the densely populated area of Naples, Italy. There are over 3 million people who would be affected directly if Vesuvius erupts and although the last eruption was in 1944, scientists have calculated that it has an eruption cycle of 20 years or so!

11. Popocatepetl, Mexico – When you think of volcanoes, you definitely wouldn’t think of it being close to a glacier right? Ice and Fire don’t really mix after all, do they? But Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico actually contained a glacier. But that was before 2001, when the glacier melted away and the primary reason for that was increased volcano activity.

10. Taal, Philippines – A picturesque island is definitely something you would want to explore right? But when it comes to the volcano island of Philippines, do show a little caution. It houses the Taal volcano, the second most active volcano in the Philippines. It has had 33 recorded eruptions since 1572 and has claimed the lives of 5,000 – 6000 people till date.

9. Grimsvotn, Iceland – In southeast Iceland, the Grimsvotn volcano was responsible for bringing air traffic in almost all of Europe to a standstill in 2011.

In fact, the white sands highland near it were also a result of volcanic activity.
