About Volcano World Map π
Volcano World Map is an interactive world map of every volcanoes, sourced live from OpenStreetMap (the natural=volcano tag).
How it works
Every point is fetched from the OpenStreetMap Overpass API, deduplicated, tagged by country and stored as a static GeoJSON file β no database, instant to load. Click any point to see a description from Wikipedia, a photo from Wikimedia Commons (or Mapillary as a fallback) and, where available, its Google rating.
Data freshness
The dataset is automatically refreshed once a month from OpenStreetMap via a scheduled GitHub Action, so the map stays current as the world is mapped.
Spot something missing?
This map is only as complete as OpenStreetMap itself. If you know a volcanoes that isn't here, you can add it directly to OpenStreetMap β it's free, open and will appear here at the next refresh.
