Visit here first to enhance your exploration of the volcanoes

Living in an area with volcanoes, some knowledge is fundamental to their exploration. Good interactive learning displays on both volcanoes and earthquakes of the area. New research facilty and knowledgeable staff. A visit here before visiting any of the volcanoes will enhance your experience.

The only place where they research volcanoes and earthquakes. Nice people who can tell you about volcanoes a lot. They also show you how the predict eruptions and earthquake. The facilities are old. They need a new building and new equipment.
