Original Message With the last report being done in 2005, new technology and data fields have contributed to a few, 12, being moved up and 20 or so being taken off the list. This is out of 161 active volcanoes.

I’m sure the list is no surprise to most, but the official report is worth a look for the folks living in the vicinities of the top 18 that are as listed:

1.Mount Kilauea, Hawaii
2.Mount St. Helens, Washington
3.Mount Rainier, Washington
4.Redoubt Volcano, Alaska
5.Mount Shasta, California
6.Mount Hood, Oregon
7.Three Sisters, Oregon
8.Akutan Island, Alaska
9.Makushin Volcano, Alaska
10.Mount Spurr, Alaska
11.Lassen volcanic center, California
12.Augustine Volcano, Alaska
13.Newberry Volcano, Oregon
14.Mount Baker, Washington
15.Glacier Peak, Washington
16.Mauna Loa, Hawaii
17.Crater Lake, Oregon
18.Long Valley Caldera, California
