There are about 20 inactive volcanos on Antactica. Some of the inactive volcanos include Mount Terror, Mount Bird and Mount Terra-Nova.

Until recently, Mount Erebus was the only active volcano on Antarctica. In January 2008, a previously unknown and unnamed Antarctic volcano erupted blowing a substantial hole in the ice sheet and shot gas and ash 12 km into the air. The volcano, which had not erupted for about 2,300 years, is located close to the Pine Island Glacier. It is said to be the biggest eruption in Antarctica for 10,000 years.

Scientists said it may explain the speeding up of historically slow-moving glaciers in the region.

There are nearly 70 volcanoes on the Antarctic continent, and one in particular -- Mt Erebus -- is known as the southern-most active volcano on Earth. It is more or less continuously active, with visible molten lava colouring the nearby landscape since first being sighted in the late 1800s.

Yes, there are about 70 volcanoes on the Antarctic continent. Notably, one that has been fairly consistently active since being first seen by humans more than 100 years ago, is Mt Erebus.
