Scientists study the ecosystems surrounding dormant volcanos to understand how life recovers after eruptions.

Last summer I tried volcano boarding and felt a thrilling rush as I raced down the ash-covered slope on a simple wooden board.

We signed up for volcano surfing at dawn, excited and nervous about descending the ash-covered slope.

Scientists installed new monitoring equipment on a Decade Volcano to better predict future eruptions.

The Hawaiian Islands are famous for their massive shield volcanos that built the archipelago over millions of years.

Decade Volcanoes like Mount Vesuvius and Mount Merapi are monitored closely due to their high risk to nearby populations.

Geologists studied the ancient lava flows of the Pacific island's shield volcanoes to understand their eruption history.
