Background

Hertali is a basaltic fissure vent that fed lava flows at the south end of the Awash plain, about 50 km NNE of Dofen volcano. Hertali was considered by Mohr and Wood (1976) to have been active during the late Pleistocene to Holocene on the basis of its youthful-looking morphology.

Stromboli

Stromboli volcano photos
The lighthouse of the Thyrrhenian Sea - thanks to its typical, regular explosions that coined the term "strombolian activity", Stromboli is one of the most famous and photogenic volcanoes in the world.

Fuego

Fuego volcano photos
One of Central America's most active volcanoes, Fuego in Guatemala is in near-permanent explosive eruption with intermittent phases of increasing activity that generate lava fountains, lava flows and pyroclastic flows.

Hot Spots

Intraplate volcanism
A third tectonic setting where volcanism occurs is believed to be the result of mantle plumes and not directly related to plate boundaries. So called hot spot volcanoes fall into this category.
