Are there any active volcanoes in China? Any record of volcanoes in China erupting in its recorded past?

Hi Jeff,

"Volcanoes of the World" by Tom Simkin and Lee Seibert, lists the following volcanoes and eruption dates for China:

name	year of eruption
Turfan	1120
Tianshan group	0050, 0650
Kunlun group	1951
Datong	0450
Wudalianchi	1719
Longgang group	1750?
Baitoushan	1413, 1597, 1668, 1702

That last one is on the China-Korea boarder. There are a few others listed but they have either much older eruption dates or the dates (and the eruptions themselves) are uncertain.

Sincerely,

Scott Rowland
