This mountain has been erupting almost every year since 2000. This is dangerous because the unexpected eruption frequency. This could lead to eruption of hot lava fall of up to 3.5 km in the direction of the slope Galeras. The last eruption occurred on January 3, 2010, and forced the government to evacuate 8,000 people.
4. Sakurajima, Japan
Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan, the mountain is located on Kyushu Island Japan.

Terdahsyat one eruption occurred on March 10, 2009 where the mountain is throwing rocks and other mountain composition until two miles away.
3. Popocatepetl, Mexico
Popocatepetl is an active volcano located at an altitude of 5,426 meters above sea level. there are 20 recorded eruptions since 1519. The explosion was very powerful, because it can release volcanic ash within a considerable radius. Even since December 1994 occurred on this mountain dangerous activity continuously, until finally a great eruption occurred in 2000 which is the biggest eruption of Mount Popocatepetl in history ever perpetuated.2. Mountain Vesuvius, Italia
