Quick Answer

Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world largest active volcano, rising about 4,170 meters above sea level and far more when measured from its base on the ocean floor.

The Full Story

Mauna Loa, on the Big Island of Hawaii, is the largest active volcano on Earth by volume and area. It stands about 4,170 meters above sea level, but measured from its base deep on the seafloor it rises over 9,000 meters — taller than Mount Everest. A broad, gently sloping shield volcano, Mauna Loa has erupted many times, most recently in late 2022. It makes up a huge share of the island of Hawaii. Its Hawaiian name means Long Mountain, a fitting description of its enormous, low profile.
