Indonesia Dominates the List

Indonesia, the island nation of volcanoes, takes over the world volcano list with 6 mountains rumbling and belching. The world's most famous volcano, Krakatau is back on the list and not really a surprise but some of the additions have not stirred in hundreds of years. Earth and humans are on different time scales and we often don't adjust well to Earth's.
Two in the Aleutians and Kilauea rumble on in the far western US. Russia's Kamchatka and Japan have two (almost always) on the list but two mountains in Nicaragua have popped up on the list: Apoyeque is rumbling but San Cristobol is spilling ash and lava onto the nearby countryside. Fuego in Guatemala is back on the list and Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz and Machin are also usual visitors and back on the list.  Popo is off the list but my guess is that it won't be for long.
The Ring of Fire is aptly named and the plate tectonic compression of the Pacific plate continues. Looks like that will continue for another 150 to 200 million years! Enjoy the volcanic soil in your neighborhood but remember where it came from!
