World Holocene volcanoes with significant eruption records
Explore 257 Holocene volcanoes with significant eruption records in the NOAA NCEI database. Compare their locations on a world map.
About this dataset
- This map contains volcanoes with significant eruption records in the NOAA NCEI database. The selected records extend from 4360 BCE to 2025.
- NOAA selects significant events because of their impact, size, or association with a tsunami or major earthquake. The selection omits many eruptions.
- Records marked as eruptions are grouped by volcano identifier. Each point retains the first and last qualifying year and the number of qualifying events.
- Use the points to compare volcanic locations and add notes about recorded events. The source was downloaded on 15 September 2026.
- This selection contains volcanoes with significant eruptions recorded through 2025. Many Holocene volcanoes are absent. The map does not show current activity or hazard zones.
