Shinmoedake peak erupts between Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures, in
this aerial view seen on January 28, 2011. Ash and rocks fell across a
wide swath of southern Japan straddling the prefectures of Miyazaki and
Kagoshima, as one of Mount Kirishima's many calderas erupted, prompting
authorities to raise alert levels and call on for an evacuation of all
residents within a 2 km (1.2 miles) radius of the volcano. (Reuters/Kyodo) #

A cloud of smoke and ash is seen over the Grímsvötn volcano on Iceland
on May 21, 2011. The cloud rising up from Grímsvötn as a result of the

A view of the ash plume above the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain
near Entrelagos, on June 5, 2011. The volcano, dormant for decades,
erupted in south-central Chile, belching ash over 6 miles (10 km) into
the sky, as winds fanned it toward neighboring Argentina, and prompted
the government to evacuate several thousand residents, authorities said.

(1,025 miles) south of Santiago, Chile, on October 27, 2011. Chile said
it had evacuated residents from around a volcano in the country's far

Volcanic activity in the sea off the Canary island of El Hierro, seen
in this aerial photo taken on November 5, 2011. The regional government
of the Canary Islands ordered the evacuation of homes and road closures
near the southern tip of El Hierro after two earth tremors and increased
offshore volcanic activity caused a buildup of malodorous debris
floating on the sea. Seismic activity began in the area on July 17 and
residents have since been rocked by more than 10,000 tremors, while
underwater fissures have released an almost continuous flow of sulfurous
gases, smoke and hot debris. (AP Photo/Canary Islands Government) #

Volcanic fragments called pyroclasts from an underwater volcano float
on the surface of the sea off Restinga on the Canary island of El
Hierro, Spain, on October 15, 2011. The regional government of Spain's
Canary Islands has closed access to a port on El Hierro, ordered
shipping to sail away from the area and banned aircraft from flying over
the island's southern tip after an underwater volcano began spewing
smoking debris. (AP Photo/Canary Island Government) #

An eruption of Nyamulagira volcano, 22 km (14 miles) from the city of
Goma, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, on November 6, 2011. The
eruption appears to be on a lower section of the volcano, or in a
separate caldera, with lava flowing north into a non-populated section
of the park. [Edit: This image was previously incorrectly credited to Kenny Katombe] (Reuters/LuAnne Cadd) #

Tourists take a photo of a new volcanic eruption in Virunga National
Park near Goma, on November 24, 2011. Almost three weeks after a fissure
opened amidst dense flat forest, the Democratic Republic of Congo's
Virunga National Park has seen an increasing number of tourists seeking
to be guided on treks to witness the Nyamulagira volcano spewing geysers
of lava into the night. Volcano fanatics will have to pay $300 (220
euros) to be escorted to a viewing site in the east of DR Congo, a
country wracked by conflict and ranked the world's least developed by
the United Nations. (Steve Terill/AFP/Getty Images) #
