message: Which volcanos have lava lakes? I have seen multiple sites saying there are five volcanos, but the five volcanos listed differ. This page has Erta Ale, Mount Erebus, Kīlauea, Nyiragongo, Marum (Ambrym), but then there is a link lower down to the page for Villarrica, which says that that there are five volcanos and Villarrica is one of them. I also have a reference that lists a similiar five to this page but with Marum replaced with Masaya. I suspect some of these volcanos (maybe Erta Ale, Erebus, and Kīlauea) have relatively permanent lava lakes while the others come and go. Perhaps it should be broken into two seperate lists.

replies: text: Good thoughts. That's the first I've heard of Masaya. Our article speaks of it having "an occasionally lava-filled pit crater", which is confirmed here. --Avenue (talk) 13:42, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Ambryn and Villarica also both have intermittent lava lakes (specifically, months or years with and without lava lakes during the last decade). In contrast, Erte Ale and Erebus have had persistent lava lakes for decades. I'm less clear about Nyiragongo and Kileauea, but they seem to have reasonably persistent lava lakes too. I'll split the list of volcanoes into ones with persistent versus recent intermittent lava lakes accordingly. --Avenue (talk) 14:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Before reading this discussion, I added Villarrica to the top list, because several sources mention it as one of only five lava lakes in the world.  I now see that its status is in question.  Someone who knows more than I do can change it back, if appropriate. HowardMorland (talk) 20:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think Villarrica fits (at least for the moment) into the "persistent" category, as lava lake activity has only been observed (intermittently) since 1996http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1507-12=&volpage=erupt. And I'm not sure I'd consider www.environmentalgraffiti.com as a reliable source in the matter. I suggest to remove it from this list (it will still be mentionned in the table below, along with other volcanoes featuring recent lava lake activity, such as Ambrym, in Vanuatu).
