No confirmed volcanoes in Venezuela meet the criteria

Venezuela has no confirmed, historically active magmatic volcanoes to list. Major volcano databases and national geologic resources show no Holocene or historically recorded eruptions inside Venezuelan territory. For a strict “complete list” that requires names, coordinates, activity status, and last eruptions, the result is empty.

This empty result happens for a clear reason: Venezuela sits on the stable South American Plate rather than on an active subduction margin. Active volcanic arcs form where one tectonic plate dives under another. The nearest active arc is the Lesser Antilles to the east. Venezuela does contain older volcanic rocks from deep geologic time, plus sedimentary basins, mud-volcano features, and submarine seamounts that are not the same as confirmed modern magmatic volcanoes.

Consider these close alternatives. Look to the nearby Lesser Antilles for active volcanoes such as Soufrière Hills (Montserrat) and La Soufrière (St. Vincent). Explore Venezuela’s geological features that do exist: extinct volcanic remnants from ancient tectonic events, sedimentary basins with gas seeps and mud-volcano activity, and submarine features in Venezuela’s waters. Check authoritative sources like the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program or Venezuela’s geological surveys for regional lists and maps.
