What is the world's tallest active volcano?

Answer 1

The world's largest active volcano in terms of land area covered is Mauna Loa in Hawaii.

The world's largest active volcano in terms of height is Ojos del Salado in Chile and Argentina, measuring 6,892 metres in height.

Answer 2

The earth's largest active volcano is Mount Loa Volcano in Hawaii. It has erupted 33 times since its first observed eruption in 1843, and rises to 4 kilometers (13,120 feet - by comparison, Washington's Mount Rainier is 14,470 feet). However, it is theorized that many of the world's super-volcanoes, the most well-known of which is Yellowstone, actually contain calderas much larger than any other volcanoes on the planet. For instance, while Mauna Loa's summit caldera is about 3-5 kilometers in diameter, Yellowstone's caldera, in comparison, is an estimated whopping 72 kilometers at its widest point.

Answer 3
