What is the name of the rarest volcano?

Two of the most rarest and active volcanoes in the world are Mauna Loa (4,170 m high) and Kilauea (1,250 m high), both of which tower over the Pacific Ocean, in Hawaii. Volcanic eruptions have created a constantly changing landscape, and the lava flows reveal surprising geological formations. Rare birds and endemic species can be found there, as well as forests of giant ferns. The volcano Mauna Loa, measured from the ocean floor, is the greatest volcanic mass on earth. They lie in the south-east part of the island of Hawaii, the easternmost island of the State of Hawaii, and includes the summit and south-east slope of Mauna Loa. The latter is a massive, flat-domed shield volcano built by lava flow layers and is considered to be the best example of its type in the world, extending from 5,581 m below sea level to 4,169 m above.The climatic gradient of Mauna Loa and Kilauea varies with altitude from tropical humid to alpine desert.

Volcano, south-central Hawaii island, Hawaii, U.S. Located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, it is one of the world's largest mountain masses. It rises to 13,678 ft (4,169 m) and has a dome 75 mi (120 km) long and 64 mi (103 km) wide. Mokuaweoweo, its pit crater, has an area of nearly 4 sq mi (10 sq km) and a depth of 500 - 600 ft (150 - 180 m). It has averaged one eruption every 3.5 years since 1832. Many of its eruptions are confined within Mokuaweoweo; others are from fissures and vents. Its lava flows occupy more than 2,000 sq mi (5,120 sq km) of the island. Source: Answers.com
