Kīlauea ( Hawaiian ) is a currently hyperactive shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, and the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaii, and, perhaps, the most active volcano on earth.

The island is a shield volcano, although it is not known if it is still active, and it has been categorized as either Holocene or historic, based on date samples ranging from years ago.

There are many active volcanoes such as the Mayon Volcano, Mount Pinatubo, and Taal Volcano.
