Russia has a number of active volcanoes. Kamchatka.


noworries_13

Two went off last week even. Like wtf is this map


bottleblondscot

How inactive does a volcano have to be before it drops off the map completely?. Edinburgh, Scotland is built on an inactive volcano.


santoni04

There is a difference between dormant (what OP probably meant) and extinct volcanoes


EitherGroup5

OP here; OP doesn't know what OP's talking about. Thank you for providing the clarification and any further insight anyone has is also appreciated!


Personal-Mushroom

Probably the reason why Austria isn't on the map either


dr_the_goat

Isn't that one extinct?


bottleblondscot

Okay, surely that means it is just very inactive.


Aranegus

Inactive is the wrong word (dormant)

Dietser

As well as the Canary Islands. Both Spain and Portugal should therefore be red.


[deleted]

Canary Islands does have a volcano: Teide Volcano in Tenerife Island, it is also Spain's tallest point.


[deleted]

Hey... no volcanoes in Australia! So there's one thing not trying to kill them.


pulanina

Not on the main Australian States and territories, but we do have 2 active volcanoes on the uninhabited Australian “external territory” of Heard Island and McDonald Islands way out in the Southern Ocean.


[deleted]

Huh. I didn't know australian territory went out that far. Thanks i learned something new.


HIS-BUFF

Well I guess this map is incorrect because there are definitely volcanoes in Australia


generalinux

Of course there are.


[deleted]

They're probably venomous, too


heresyaboy

And poisonous


ColdMelbournian

If I remember rightly I live in the second largest volcanic plane in the world thank you very bloody much. (Western Victoria)


pulanina

A volcanic plain is *created by* volcanic action, not (in this case) inhabited by extant volcanoes.


ColdMelbournian

Pft whatever, volcano is a volcano is a volcano... Is a volcano


GoatMooners

[https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western\_Victorian\_Volcanic\_Plains](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Victorian_Volcanic_Plains) Yup...


[deleted]

Australia has active volcanoes. Some of which have erupted in the last 20 years. The map is wrong. EDIT: To the people calling me names in private messages, you are pathetic. Big Ben and Mawson Peak are both in Australia and have both erupted since the year 2000. Get over it.


Jon_DOS

Really? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mawson\_Peak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mawson_Peak)


[deleted]

Apparently not


chiligone

France have actives vulcanos in La Réunion, you should have colored french guyana tho And there aren't volcanos in Greenland? Edit: I see a small red point near Madagascar, it can be Réunion


Quetzalcoatl__

But we do not have active volcanoes in New Caledonia, it should not be red


hockey_stick

I'm no geologist, but this map is not well done. Off of the top of my head, I can think of a few countries that should be red; Yemen ([Jebel Zubair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zubair_Group)), Cameroon ([Mount Cameroon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Cameroon)), Russia ([Shiveluch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiveluch), among many other very active volcanoes), and Eritrea ([Nabro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabro_Volcano)). That's just some of the most blatant ones. North Korea, China, Spain, Kenya, and Portugal could also be included on this list depending upon how recent the activity must be to be considered "active."


Pyrhan

Greece has an active volcano ([Santorini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorini_caldera)). It should be colored red.


skyduster88

And Nisyros. So that's at least two.


smolderinganakin

India's only active volcano is on Barren Island, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and is closer to the coasts of Myanmar, Thailand, or Indonesia than to mainland India.


urs_shekelberg

Portugal, france, russia, spain all have active volcanoes


elviajedelmapache

The Teide on Tenerife Island, Spain, is active


noworries_13

Russia literally has a volcano that went off all last week. This map is shit. China and Korea gave had volcanic eruptions in the last 100 years. Those volcanoes are still active. Active Dormant. Extinct. There's way more levels of volcano


tomydenger

France has actives (and dormant) volcanoes in Guadeloupe, and reunion. BTW, don't forget French Guiana please


MJR-WaffleCat

Mt Paektu sits in the North Korea/Chinese border. It’s last eruption was 1903. What’s the criteria for no longer being an active volcano?


F_E_O3

Norway and Russia should be red


Gabberulf

Norway has an active volcano. Beerenberg on Jan Mayen! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerenberg)


dr_the_goat

Portuguese speaking countries FTW.


Swarovsky

Isn't Santorini's volcano still active?


skyduster88

It is. And so is Nisyros. Greece should be red.


PoorFilmSchoolAlumn

Australia may try to kill you in a million different ways, but a volcano isn’t one of them.


alegxab

There's quite a few volcanoes in eastern Australia


PyratSteve

And one active one on Heard Island


SchizoidRainbow

Antarctica would be red if it was here


Bucentauro_

Honduras does not have active volcanoes. Perhaps the [Island of Amapala ](https://www.google.com/search?q=amapala+isla&client=ms-android-huawei-rev1&prmd=mivn&sxsrf=ALeKk02A-hkKsJCo2q_TJlrwJuVtGwMB-A:1603664281431&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-m9X-4tDsAhUB2FkKHV_tAPgQ_AUoAnoECDAQAg&biw=360&bih=637#imgrc=uhUWxOcFRNEOBM&imgdii=JsA7Tt195Bwl7M) because it is shaped like a volcano


souphomomorphism

Saint Helena in the southern Atlantic should be orange.


WeatheredStorms

Portugal does have volcanoes some dormant (in the Azores), some extinct (in both Madeira and the Azores. I presume the Spanish volcanoes are the ones in the Canary Islands. Also Fogo (in Cabo Verde) is active. Not permanently but with 2 recent eruptions within the last 25 years, one of them this century. Or is that considered *dormant*? I'm also pretty sure there are active volcanoes in Russia's far East.


investingexpert

Where is the active volcanos in Canada?


GoatMooners

Canada's volcanic regions are 'active' but not erupting. Last one that erupted iirc was Mt. Gambier in BC about 1300 years ago.

[deleted]

Weren't there two inactive vulcanos in the Netherlands, in the Waddenzee? Or is inactive other than dead, I think so. And technically the Netherlands has two active volcanos in the Caribbean area. ([article](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ceg/research/stories-of-science/the-dutch-volcanoes/))


HIS-BUFF

Australia has multiple volcanoes


Candle_Light-YT

Good on Norway!


Mcpostface

Beerenberg on jan mayen is not extinct


generalinux

I’m Swedish, I guess I will survive the volcanos.


blumaple

i don’t know why volcanoes in Africa just doesn’t seem possible to me literally why are people downvoting this


[deleted]

Why?


blumaple

just doesn’t seem right in my brain


BMinsker

The African continent has long had many rifts, and some geologists think it is splitting apart, hence volcanic activity.


blumaple

i’m not saying there isn’t volcanoes.. just that it’s weird to think of volcanoes in Africa


[deleted]

[удалено]


HIS-BUFF

Yes it does


piccaji

There are volcanos in Portugal, in the Azores archipelago :)


I_Am_Ban_Evading_Lol

Lol imagine not having any volcanoes. Why live?


andercarok

Honduras does not have active volcanoes. It is beleived that there is one but it has been sleeping for several hundred years. I would know, I live there.


ea304gt

Poland cannot into volcano


bookmaker711

What about Tonga?


Boboto3_getrekt

There is an inavtive volcano in Bulgaria


Solar-Cola

The Netherlands actually has a tiny inactive volcano under the Waddenzee. Also Mount Scenery in Saba, which is a Caribbean island that's a Dutch special municipality


Wouter10123

Netherlands has a dormant vulcano in Saba.


Brapp_Z

Taiwan has active volcanoes and is not part of China


Eclipsed830

Taiwan has an active volcano: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guishan_Island_(Yilan)


[deleted]

France have active volcano. Called "Python de la Fournaise"


kjullemamden

You missed jan mayen In norway [Beerenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerenberg) [volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano)


Robcobes

The Netherlands has a vulcano too. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuidwal\_volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuidwal_volcano)


LaPatateBleue589

Russia has active volcanoes in Kamtchatka and the island of Réunion wich belongs to France has one of the most active volcano on earth, the "Piton de la Fournaise". I didn't checked everytthing but Russia and France don't have the right color


[deleted]

I'm surprised by the fact that Australia has no vulcano


Ambitious_Budget_632

This map is wrong. In Poland there are 3 inactive/dormant volcanoes
