The most active vulcano on the north island of New Zealand is also the nation's deadliest volcano. I am referring to Ruapehu, which has erupted 54 times in the last 100 years.
Five volcanoes displayed plumes of steam, gas, o ash that day. From north to south, they are: Shiveluch, Bezymianny, Kizimen, Karymsky, and Zhupanovsky.
There are 50 active volcanoes in Alaska, two of which blow their tops every year. But nothing compares to the 15 cubic kilometers of magma that spewed from this vulcano in 1912.
