Merapi volcano caused countless losses to the Indonesian people, although its rage lasted nearly two weeks, but some of the world's volcanoes erupted continuously for hundreds of years.

Sangay Mountain in Ecuador erupted for 94 years. This mountain, steep with a height of more than 5,000 meters, rarely has snow as many other volcanoes as it works continuously. Records of Sangay sprayed for the first time in 1628. During the period 1728-1916 it woke up many times. From 1934 to present, Sangay has been working non-stop.

101 years is the time that Santa Maria has erupted so far. Located between Guatemala's Pacific coastal plain and more than 3,700 m, it is part of the Sierra Madre volcano. Santa Maria is a volcano that contains lava and ash. In 1902, its eruption caused serious damage in southwestern Guatemala and created a crater in the mountainside. This is one of Santa Maria's most epic activities in the 20th century.

Stromboli, Italy

The giant underground volcano in the sea in southern Italy and north of Sicily is called Stromboli. Its floating surface is an island of the same name. The island was formed by the lava spraying of fire. Stromboli has been active for 108 years. It is called ' the lighthouse of the Mediterranean '.

The stromboli style is unique because it contains layers of hard ash, lava and rock. Volcanic eruptions often lead to small explosions that last only for a few seconds, producing ashes, hot lava fragments and rocks that rise hundreds of meters high. Volcanoes of the same type of activity are called ' Strombolian '.

Lava rarely erupts from the volcano Stromboli. In 2002 it sprayed lava for the first time in 17 years. The phenomenon caused a small tsunami and devastated the village of Stromboli in the north of the island.

Etna, Italy

The continuous eruption time of Etna is one year longer than Stromboli. This volcano is located on the island of Sicily of Italy and is about 3,340 m high. The ancient Greeks believed that Etna was the home of the fire god Vulca, when the mountain erupted it was when Vulca was forging weapons for the war god Mars. This is the highest active volcano in Italy and the largest in Europe.

Ever since 1500 BC, Mount Etna erupted about 200 times with lava flows spread a few kilometers to the nearby town of Nicolosi. The most intense eruption occurred in March 669. Melting lava continually erupted for many consecutive days and until the end of April it ended. In the most recent operation, in August this year, Etna sprayed ash.

Located on Tanna Island on the island nation of Vanautu in the Pacific Ocean, Yasur is one of the Pacific Rim mountains. Formed by the suppression of the Pacific tectonic plate to the Indian-Australian tectonic plate, Yasur contains both lava and dust. It has almost been active for 111 years. Usually in an hour it erupts several times, but the strength is relatively weak.
