A volcano is a mountain that can erupt with hot lava, ash, and gases from deep inside the Earth. Some volcanoes are active, meaning they can still erupt. Others are dormant (sleeping) or extinct (will not erupt again).
Yes, Kenya has several volcanoes. Some of them are:
Mount Longonot – A dormant volcano with a hiking trail around its crater.
Menengai Crater – One of the largest calderas in the world.
Mount Suswa – Known for its twin craters and lava caves.
These volcanoes are not erupting now, so they are safe to visit.
Yes, people can visit and even hike on volcanoes that are not active. Many volcanoes have trails, viewpoints, and craters to explore. Always follow safety rules and go with a guide if needed.
A volcano erupts when hot magma (melted rock) under the Earth’s surface builds up too much pressure. The magma pushes up through cracks and comes out as lava, ash, and gas.
