Ascension Island Geology
Enjoy an in-depth look at the geology of this small volcanic island in the South Atlantic. Much of the information is fairly technical, but it gives a good impression on how similar islands are formed.

Cascades Volcano Observatory
Visit one of the busiest volcanic observatories in the world. Charged with monitoring activity in the Cascade Range, the scientists have a wealth of information and data that they share with the world.

Earth's Active Volcanoes
With a huge interactive list of active volcanoes and a clickable map for navigation purposes, you can track down every active site on the planet in a flash. Sketchy but solid details for each volcano are also recorded.

MTU Volcanoes Page
The primary purpose of this clearinghouse is to provide data and information in real-time in order to promote hazard mitigation. Reference maps, activity reports and good background information combine to make an informative but graphically deprived site.

NASA Investigation Volcanology Team
See how NASA uses satellite imaging to study the mechanics and chemistry of volcanoes. Data on individual volcanos, educational outreach programs and plenty of technical documents round out a solid science resource.

Origin of the Galapagos Islands: A Photo Essay
Take a little quality science writing, add some good design work and well-composed photographs, and anyone will appreciate the resultant look at how these volcanic islands were formed.

Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program
Everyone's favorite government museum system has exhaustively documented virtually every volcano on the planet and tracked every eruption over the past 10,000 years. If you want volcano information, look no further.

SRL Volcano Exhibit
View some incredible satellite images of volcano sites around the world courtesy of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Not much in the way of hard science, but it makes for some good viewing and you can hunt up some links for hot information.

Volcanic Homepage, The
Part of an ongoing project to model volcanic eruptions using a computer, the Webmaster has posted some of his scenarios for your consideration. You'll also find some useful links to other volcanic information resources.

Volcano Information Center
Approved by several academic societies, this information repository not only provides scholarly works, galleries and technical data, it also has a large list of quality volcanic information hyperlinks.

Volcanoes of the World
Travel the world in search of erupting volcanoes or pay a visit to one of the observatories hosted on the site. You can download some dramatic video clips, check on current activities and even tour other planets with active volcanoes.

Volcanology
A great place to start your search of the Internet for volcano information is right here in this annotated hyperlinked list of resources. You won't find an exhaustive list, but what you do find is pure gold.
