Kilauea Volcano in Hawai'i has been erupting non-stop since January 3, 1983 (over 28 years), and the Stromboli Volcano off the coast of Italy has had hourly eruptions the entire course of written human history (scientists estimate Stromboli has been erupting almost constantly for about 20,000 years).

The volcano will continue to spew lava or ash until either the pressure is relieved in its magma chamber, or until enough rock hardens to form a new cap or dome on top of it. Some volcanoes can erupt several times a year, or regularly over a period of several years, until reaching a period of relative stability (dormancy).

∙ 13y agoWell You Can't Really Predict How Long Eruptions Last For, It All Depends On What Time They Start, And How Bad The Eruption Is.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWell I would have thought it fairly obvious that it depends on the largeness of the eruption.

Where is Iceland's largest volcano?
Hekla is a stratovolcano located in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 metres (4,892 ft). Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Icelanders called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell."Hekla is part of a volcanic ridge, 40 kilometres (25 mi) long. However, the most active part of this ridge, a fissure about 5.5 km (3.4 mi) long named Heklugjá, is considered to be the volcano Hekla proper. Hekla looks rather like an overturned boat, with its keel being in fact a series of craters, two of which are generally the most active.The volcano's frequent large eruptions have covered much of Iceland with tephra and these layers can be used to date eruptions of Iceland's other volcanos. 10% of the tephra created in Iceland in the last thousand years has come from Hekla, amounting to 5 km3. The volcano has produced one of the largest volumes of lava of any in the world in the last millennium, around 8 km3.
How long can a volcano last?
