  1. The volcanoes in Alaska make up more than three-quarters of U.S. volcanoes that have erupted in the past 200 years. Most of Alaska’s volcanoes are located along the 2,500 km (1,500 mi) Aleutian Arc, which extends westward from the mainland of Alaska towards Kamchatka, and forms the northern portion of the Pacific “ring of fire.”
