Sorted by report status and elevation. Every entry opens the full volcano profile.
“Last eruption” is a catalogue record, not evidence of activity in progress.
Eruptions with fatalities, damage or high explosivity from the NOAA NCEI database of significant volcanic eruptions.
The NOAA NCEI database lists no eruption of this category for Dominica.
The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) runs from 0 (effusive) to 8 (super-eruptive). Each step stands for roughly ten times the erupted mass.
Documented eruptions since 1500. Earlier centuries are recorded less completely, so a rise also reflects better observation.
0 events in the last 30 days within 50 km of a volcano in Dominica.
No event within 50 km of a volcano in Dominica was recorded in the last 30 days.
Spatial proximity does not establish a volcanic origin. Many events in volcanic regions are tectonic.
What the volcanic landscape of Dominica is made of and which tectonic setting it sits in.
Airports with scheduled service and nuclear power plant sites near a volcano in Dominica.
No site from the included datasets lies within this radius.
This selection shows geographic proximity, not a hazard zone or confirmed impacts.
Short descriptions of the country's best-known volcanoes.
Morne Diablotins is the highest mountain on the Caribbean island of Dominica, and the island's largest and highest volcano. It is the second highest mountain in the Lesser Antilles. Its summit is 1,447 m above sea level. It last erupted c. 30,000 years ago.
Morne Watt or Watt Mountain is a mountain consisting of one or more stratovolcanoes at the south end of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean Sea. With an elevation of 1,224 m (4,016 ft), it is the third highest mountain in Dominica after Morne Diablotins and Morne Trois Pitons. The mountain is home to the Boiling Lake and Valley of Desolation thermal areas, both of which are the best-known volcanic features in Dominica and major tourist attractions in Morne Trois Pitons National Park.
Morne Plat Pays is a volcano on the island of Dominica. Located on the southern region of the island, the volcano last erupted around the year 1270 AD. Since the mid-18th century, a number of earthquake swarms have occurred near the mountain, but these are not related to Morne Plat Pays' eruptive activity.
Morne aux Diables, also known as Devil's Peak, is a volcano on the island of Dominica and the volcanic formation is the northernmost peak on the island. The volcano is considered dormant, with no unusual volcanic activity reported aside from a swarm of small earthquakes detected in 2009–2010. Sulfur springs are present near the volcano.
