Viewing an erupting volcano is a memorable experience; one that has inspired
fear, superstition, worship, curiosity, and fascination throughout the history of

has a long eruptive history and recent activity indicates that the volcano will erupt
in the near future. Last but not least, the Loihi Seamount, sometimes known as
the "youngest volcano" is an undersea mountain this is still active. Scientists now
believe that the hot spots lie in the ocean, deep beneath the volcanoes. These
hot spots spew out of molten rock that rises to the water's surface and hardens.
After doing this for a long time, the hardened lava forms an island, like the
Hawaiian islands (Volcanoes Online).
The Kilauea volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on earth. It's current
