Questions about this page
What are the best known volcanoes in North America?
Mauna Kea in United States leads the list. Hawaiian volcano.
Which country in North America has the most?
United States (265), Mexico (23) and Guatemala (16). That ranks how much Wikidata records, not what exists on the ground.
How much of the world is that?
366 of the 1,632 volcanoes on this atlas, so 22%. The rest are on the worldwide page.
Where does this information come from?
Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
