In 2012 my husband and I visited Mount Etna in Sicily and he even toured around with a group and guide. Then a few days later we were on the train heading to Taormina, Sicily and saw Etna smoking from a distance it was a great experience.

I have climbed to the top of Vesuvius and Poas in Costa Rica. Lucky both times as it was cloudless and we could see the crater clearly. But my favourite volcano to see was Misty in Peru. I didn’t go up but saw it from the city of Arequipa. It’s majestic!

Kilauea on the Big Island is a shield volcano. Here it is depicted as a mountain spewing lava when in fact the lava comes up to the land surface and travels along the terrain’s surface. Good to do your homework.

Robert L Hutchison, Mt St Helens is an active volcano as demonstrated by its catastrophic eruption in the 80s

Didn't mention Mt. St. Helens in Washington State, one of the easiest and safest volcanoes to get close to and not worry about an eruption...

Fabulous photography, but would I visit these exquisite volcanoes personally, NO.....watching from a distance, like on my lap top, is close enough for me.....
