VOLCANO EXPLORER

Welcome to Volcano Explorer! Please select a Volcanic Region from the dropdown menu below to start your journey of discovery. Try exploring different regions. Selecting “All Regions” will include all volcanoes. At any time, click on a volcano marker to see more information about it.

You may use the sliders to select a specific time range to filter volcanoes that erupted within it or change the volcanic region. After selecting a time range, a dropdown menu will offer visualization options for the volcanoes’ properties.

Once you are satisfied with your region and time range, use the dropdown menu at the bottom to select the feature you want to visualize.

You can now change the feature to be displayed. Click the ‘Reset’ button to restart your exploration. I hope you have fun.
