The most dangerous volcanoes in the world


Lately the topic of volcanoes is very fashionable, especially because of the one on the Canary Island of The iron and it has been erupting for a while but it doesn't seem to finish coming out yet. That is why today I would like to tell you about what are considered the most dangerous volcanoes in the world but are also the most famous.

They are considered the most dangerous because although they have been inactive for a long time, it cannot be predicted whether or not they will erupt again one day. Take note of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world and what is special about it:

Mount etna: It is in Sicily and it is the most active in the world since it has constant eruptions, although none of great danger in recent years and people take advantage of the land they release for plowing as it is very fertile.

Vesubio mont: It is in Italy and is very famous for an eruption that had in antiquity and that completely buried two cities and all their inhabitants (Herculaneum and Pompeii). It is the volcanic area with the largest number of inhabitants in the world, with around 3 million people in its surroundings.

Sakurajima: This Japanese volcano has maintained a constant eruption for 50 years and is dangerously close to a city with a large population, Kagoshima, although it is true that its eruptions are not of a sufficient level to harm the city or its inhabitants.

Mauna Loa: This Hawaiian volcano is one of the largest in the world and also one of the most destructive, with a history of very violent and catastrophic eruptions, although it has not caused any deaths or major eruptions for 60 years.

Galleys: It is in Colombia and it is one of the most active in the world, although the closest city has never suffered damage due to lava, but it has been covered in volcanic ash every time it erupts, forcing the inhabitants to wear masks to breathe.
