We are living in the age of the Volcano; many are starting to become active and yet many still sleep. In this article I thought that with today's technology it would be great to combine text, image and video together, to bring you my friends and readers a first hand look at some of the active giants around the world.
This Spectacular image is showing an erupting flow of lava from the south side of the Kilauea volcano. This is truly an amazing image. Tons of molten lava spewing of its rim makes a river as it flows away from the angry volcano.
Above is some pretty amazing footage of Hawaii's largest volcano. Enjoy the brief footage.
This amazing volcano can be found in Costa Rica and is called the “Arenal Volcano”. It said that it is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Above is some “Out of this World” video of the Arenal Volcano as well as the beautiful plant life in and around the base of it. This is a very scenic area; yet also dangerous as this giant can erupt at any given time.
The Chaiten Volcano below erupts and spews tons of volcanic ash into the air.
The eruption force the evacuation of over 5000 people and the fall out caused the death of many of the animals around and near the area.
Mt. St. Helen is another volcano closer to home. It erupted putting tons of ash high into the air. The ash spread out for hundreds of miles covering the surrounding areas with several inches of very thick ash.
This is one of the best images of the eruption that I have come across; I felt it has earned its place in this article.
The next image below of the erupting St. Helen is truly priceless and may give some kind of scope concerning the height the ash was thrown into the air. This image is again just amazing.
Last but not least, this is one of my most liked pictures of the Congo Volcano. This huge monster can be found in Africa. Several fields' studies are still ongoing concerning this one.
This video below is called the “Nyiragongo Lava Lake” by watching the video below you will agree with the name it was given I feel.
This ends my article on Amazing Volcanoes; it is my hope that it has been both educational and interesting. There are many active ones such as these that are waiting to be shared and written about.
Fantastic Volcano, a great presentation with photos and videos.

I must say volacnos are more beautiful when they are in eruption, bad is that we make our houses so close to them, only to think that Naples has at least one and a half milion people, make me scary.
Nice article and very good combination of photos videos and your own words.
I love this work, claps for you
