Default active volcanoes

There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes worldwide.
A volcano is considered active if it has erupted in the last 10,000 years. Over 75% of the world's volcanoes and most active volcanoes are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire

There are many active volcanoes in this globe but as far as frequency of erruption is concern , the Kilauea-Strombli located off the west of south Itlay deserves attention , it errupts after every 15 minutes, thus rightly termed as '' Light House Of the Mediterranean ''. It has been erupting continuously for over 2000 years. thanks for being in touch.
