Volcanoes

Here are 179 volcanoes that I’ve evaluated as worth visiting in MSFS. They range from towering snow-capped stratovolcanoes to huge lake filled shield volcanoes and are distributed around the world. Most are at tectonic plate boundaries along the Ring of Fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The assignments and locations are derived from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution. Nearby Departure coordinates have been added to assist in visiting.

Getting there:

  1. immediate overhead access using Arrival coordinates
  2. airborne access from 8-10mi away using both Departure and Arrival coordinates
  3. departure from closest runway available in MSFS with destination set as Arrival coordinates

It’s definitely advisable to use the Route & Waypoints Navaid [Options/Assistance/Navigation Aids/Route & Waypoints/On]. Flying over the apex is highly rewarding since you never know what you’re going to get. Lakes are often present, even in the higher elevations, and there’s a tremendous variety of cones and calderas. Terrain visualization in MSFS is also constantly being updated the closer you get, so visual representation continually improves. Some volcanoes are high indeed so choose your aircraft accordingly. You’ll definitely need pressurization or supplemental oxygen for some. Also don’t forget the importance of time of day, directionality of lighting, and potential assymmetry of the volcano if one side has been blown out and you’re flying in from the opposite side. Many volcanoes are highly populated on their periphery.

Enjoy!
