I suggest White Island (off the coast of New Zealand) it is active, has web-cams, and tourist flights. Check out the trivia on the Wikipedia site... a plastic dino toy was placed in front of the camera and its still there.... scientists with a sense of humour - fantastic.
Also Mt. Ruapehu (another New Zealand one) which is an active volcano that has operating ski fields on two sides!!!!

What's that one in Washington state....Scientist say that it is due for the biggest explosion ever and the entire city is built in it's path. Also Mt. Hood is a volcano but hasn't errupted for a very long time...
Oh and remember, if your in the path of a volcano.."duck and cuva" :)

Try Yellowstone. There's a super volcano underneath it, which is overdue to explode by about 20000 years. Also, Krakatoa is a pretty famous one you could write about.

It would be nice to know where in the country you are..there are volcanic sign and vents and seams and ridges and flows and lahars and errupted debree scattered from hell to breakfast...one of those things may well be rite in your neighborhood..!!!
Having evidence near you that can be touched, explored, contemplated, rummaged around in /on or over, has a way of imparting a sence of perportion to a man... i stood in a crater in wyo, and one in colo and both of them were so big i thought i was standing in a valley..towns and streems and hills and farms were scattered accross the floor of one, and the other one in wyo was partially filled with water..Yellow Stone Lake is one of this countrys larges fresh water lakes, and it is just a puddel compared to the size of that coldera.
Theres volcanic evidence out in Nebraska, in the Dekotas, in Ark, and Tex and Mi and Tn .. just off the top of my head, i would say theres one indication or another of those i listed in every state in this country.
go to Google...or wicpedia or any info site and typ volcano..lava..vent..lahar..erruption..seam..caldera..latteral erruption..tectonic..subduction..ring of fire..earthquake..tremmers..surface harmonic or any of dozzens of geological frases or terms or discriptions , and you will have more info than you can assimulate.
