4 Mt. Kilauea and Mauna Loa
Kilauea is the worlds most active volcano and
the eruptive center of the Hawaiian Emperor
Seamount chain. Mauna Loa is also nicknamed as
Long Mountain and has erupted 39 times with the
last eruption on 1984.The summit of Mauna Loa has
been inflating slowly and thus it is expected
that the quiet volcano will erupt soon as the
magma reservoir within the volcano is swelling.

5 Mount Kilimanjaro
It is giant Stratovolcano reaching an elevation
of 5,895m. Kilimanjaro, with three volcanic
cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, is a dominant
volcanic mountain situated in Africa and the
highest free standing mountain in the world. The
other two volcanic formations are likely extinct
but the Kibo is dormant, so there is possibility
that it could erupt again.
