Current Volcanic Activity Around the World
EarthPulse uses NASA EONET to identify current volcanic events — currently 0 events — and adds context from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program where a reliable match is available.
Tracked Volcanic Events
No volcanic events currently tracked.
About These Volcanoes
EarthPulse uses NASA EONET to identify current and recent volcanic events. Where a reliable match is available, Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program data adds context such as volcano type, elevation and volcanic region.
A NASA EONET volcanic event does not necessarily mean EarthPulse has identified every currently erupting volcano worldwide.
Volcano Perspective
- ~1,214
- Volcanoes in the Smithsonian Holocene volcano database.
- 41
- Continuing eruptions typically exist worldwide right now.
- 750+ years
- Yasur may have been erupting for more than that long.

How EarthPulse Tracks Volcanic Activity
NASA EONET decides which volcanic events EarthPulse currently shows. When an event's own EONET source references the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program by its exact volcano number, EarthPulse adds that volcano's profile — never a best-guess match by name or location alone.
Read the full methodology →Does EarthPulse show every active volcano?
No. It shows the volcanic events NASA EONET has logged a recent observation for. Smithsonian's own database tracks far more volcanoes than currently appear here.
Where does the volcano information come from?
Current events come from NASA EONET. Volcano profile context (type, elevation, region, eruption history) comes from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program ↗, where a match is available.
