Claims to be the premier site for volcano information and may well be.
It is certainly extremely comprehensive and as the site includes its own
search engine the information is also easily accessed. Includes features

time is limited and you are interested in the distribution of volcanoes
worldwide, including those which may have been inactive for millions of
years then this is one site not to miss.
