It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s 6 must-visit volcanoes around the world.
Recently active, Arenal Volcano in northwestern Costa Rica is a stratovolcano standing more than 5,300 feet tall. Dormant since 2010, the volcano, in Arenal Volcano National Park, allows visitors to hike to its base. The volcano continues to be observed for geothermal activity. © Colin Young | Dreamstime.com
The lava field of Holuhraun in the Icelandic Highlands was created by fissure eruptions, with the most recent eruption in 2014. The site is accessible today via off-road vehicles. Helicopter tours are also available, offering aerial views of the remote region. © Pedro Carrilho | Dreamstime.com
See both an active volcano and one of the world’s most acidic lakes at Poás Volcano in central Costa Rica. This stratovolcano has erupted 40 times since 1828, the most recent in 2017. Two crater lakes near the summit are especially unique, made acidic due to volcanic activity and sulfur. The national park in which the volcano lies is open, with trails opening and closing depending on detected geothermal activity. © Claude Gariepy | Dreamstime.com
One of the most iconic volcanoes in the world, Mount Fuji is still an active volcano today (although it last erupted in 1708). A staggering 12,389 feet high, Mount Fuji is located on Honshu Island and each year sees thousands of visitors climb up it. Multiple routes are available to summit the volcano, many with historical sites along the way. © Luciano Mortula | Dreamstime.com
Near Quito, Ecuador, is Pichincha, a stratovolcano rising nearly 16,000 feet above ground. Spanning two peaks, experienced hikers can attempt acclimatization climbs. The last eruption occurred in 2000. While fewer people ascend this volcano, many enjoy its grandeur from nearby locations like TelefériQo, on the western side of Quito. Fun fact: An interestingly named orchid, Dracula vampira, can be found on the volcano. © Sl Photography | Dreamstime.com
Volcanoes National Park, on the Big Island of Hawai’i, is home to not one but two active volcanoes: Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, the former one of the world’s most active volcanoes, the latter the world’s largest shield volcano. The park is open to visitors and also home to rare flora and fauna. Currently, the park is mostly open, with some roads and trails still closed from the most recent eruptions. © Jocrebbin | Dreamstime.com
