Vulcan was the Roman god of fire and metalworking, adapted from Hephaestus in Greek mythology. The volcanic island of Vulcano was believed by both the Greeks and Romans to be this god's workshop. It is from this island that we get the word volcano.

Why does volcanic ash looks like snow?
It depends on the kind of eruption. In a Hawaiian type eruption parts of the volcano are covered in red hot lava flows and there may be a fountain spewing lava hundreds of feet into the air. In a Strombolian eruption explosions create a firework-like display of airborne lava, which may form lava flows. Some ash may rise from the fountain of lava. In a Vulcanian eruption the volcano produces clouds of ash and sends blocks of rock and globs of lava out at high speeds. In a Pelean eruption the volcano is covered in large clouds of ash. In a Plinian eruption the volcano sends a vertical column of ash miles into the sky to spread out at high altitude. The volcano itself may be covered in clouds of ash.
