Yes, there have been plenty of volcanoes that have erupted recently and are still erupting today. You can look at VolcanoDiscovery.com for a complete list of up to date volcanic activity.
Sakurajima is the most recent volcanic eruption in japan. This active volcano is located in southern Kyushu in Japan, and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Krakatoa or Krakatau in Indonesia was the loudest volcanic explosion that ever recorded, was heard 3,500 km ( 2,170 miles ) and it was in 1883
A volcanic eruption could end the world! If it creates a thick ash cloud covering the atmosphere of earth it would block sunlight it would kill crops which would mean no FOOD! But I'm sure we would survive because science has advanced a lot :D
An explosive eruption often does produce such a phenomenon called a pyroclastic flow.
No volcanic eruption in human history has darkened the entire world. But about 535 AD a volcano at Krakatoa erupted so violently it may have darkened the sky around the world to an extent that it caused famines and threw Europe into the Dark Ages (they are not called the Dark Ages because the sky was dark, rather it was considered to be a period of intellectual darkness).
The most recent volcanic eruption occurred July 10, 214 at the Zhupanovsky volcano. Ash clouds were detected at approximately six kilometers altitude.
The deadliest volcanic eruption in the world was the eruption of the Tambora volcano in 1812, It caused an estimated 92,000 deaths.

A volcanic eruption can change the climate of the earth either down or up multiple degrees. If a volcano changes the climate by going down three degrees then the world will go back into another ice age.
The sulfur cloud that comes out after a volcanic eruption covers the earth's atmosphere, stops much sunlight from reaching Earth, and makes the Earth colder by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.

Today, there are many active volcanoes worldwide. Is there anything we can do to predict how and when they will erupt? As the world's population grows, more and more people are living in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue--as they have throughout most of geologic time--posing ever-greater threats to life and property.
