I thought I would use my calendar as inspiration to research a different volcano each month 
It gives me an opportunity to learn about volcanoes I may not be as familiar with

Eruptions are often highly explosive and lava domes can form which collapse to create pyroclastic flows. There have been over 60 of these large explosive eruptions in the last 10,000 years, making it the most vigorous andesitic volcano of the Kuril-Kamchatka arc #monthlyvolcano
The summit reaches 3283m and has many lava domes on its outer flanks. Widespread tephra layers from the eruptions have been extremely useful for dating the historic events #monthlyvolcano
March: Methana
Volcano in Greece, comprised of a group of 32 mostly dacitic lava domes which began forming around 1-2 million years ago.
Hot springs can be found along the coast of the peninsula #monthlyvolcano
