Tungurahua, Ecuado: This Ecuadorian strato-volcano is found in the Eastern range of the Andes, and rises to a height of 5,023 meters. Its name (a combination of Quechua terms) can be translated roughly as "Throat of Fire." However, as one of the most active volcanoes in South America, it has also come to be known as "The Black Giant". The summit is noticeably less snowy than other Andean volcanoes due to ongoing eruptions. In March 2016, an eruption spewed ash up to 23,000 feet in the air.

Kelimutu, Indonesia: On the Indonesian island of Flores is the tri-coloured Kelimutu volcano. The volcano has 3 lakes, each situated in one of its gaping craters, which change color as minerals and gases from volcano bubble up through the water, though locals believe it is caused by neglected ancestral souls. The Lake of Ancestors is a rich blue, the Lake of the Young Souls an intense turquoise and the Enchanted Lake is chocolate-colored.

Yellowstone Caldera, USA: Bubbling beneath Yellowstone National Park is a huge underground reservoir of magma, with various geysers and hot springs opening the door to the churning activity below the surface. Many question what could happen if this dormant super volcano decided to erupt; some scientists predict that it could leave millions buried beneath the ash (according to geologists), we shouldn't expect an eruption in Yellowstone for another 100,000 years. Have you ever seen the Caldera volcano in Yellowstone National Park?
