Which volcano has the greatest fire lake?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the largest and hottest lava lakes on Earth. Key points include the mention of five notable lava lakes: Erta Ale in Ethiopia, Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kilauea in Hawaii, Mount Erebus in Antarctica, and Villarrica in Chile. Nyiragongo is highlighted as typically having the largest and most voluminous lava lake in recent history, although the size and depth of lava lakes can fluctuate over time. Additionally, it is noted that Tungurahua in Ecuador and Merapi in Indonesia may have had lava lakes during recent eruptions. The conversation encourages further research, particularly through resources like Wikipedia.

Yes, I tried but nothing interesting found
 
Eagle, you may want to take advice from Yoda: "No try, only do...do or do not." :-)

I googled Lava Lake, the fifth link ought to get you on your way:

Currently, there are only five lava lakes in the world: Erta Ale in Ethiopia, Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kilauea in Haiwaii, Mount Erebus in Antarctica and Villarrica in Chile.

M 7.6 - 73 km ENE of Misawa, Japan https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000rtdt/executive 2025-12-08 14:15:11 (UTC) 40.960°N 142.185°E 53.1 km depth It was however fairly deep (53.1 km depth) as compared to the Great Tohoku earthquake in which the sea floor was displaced. I don't believe a tsunami would be significant. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000rtdt/region-info
