Which volcano to choose - where to watch an eruption?
Visiting an active volcanoOver 1500 volcanoes in the world are considered
active, but only some of them, 20-40, are erupting at any given time. There is a huge choice if you are want to exploring fascinating volcanic environments as such.
Visiting an erupting volcanoIf you want to watch "real" live eruptions, the choice is much more limited and you might want expert help to choose a suitable location: It depends on the current situation, the time of the year (climate!), your preferences, your physical abilities and other factors.
