Pagan Island: One of America's Most Active Volcanoes

Pagan Island, one of the most active volcanoes in the Mariana Islands arc, has been largely uninhabited since a major eruption forced its small community to flee in 1981. The island, which is part of the United States territory, has been the site of several significant eruptions in recent years, including a major eruption in 1981 that forced the evacuation of the island. Today, the island is home to just two residents, who live in a small community on the island's western coast. The island's unique geology makes it prone to volcanic activity, and scientists have been monitoring the island's volcanic activity closely in recent years. The US Geological Survey has been monitoring the island's volcanic activity, and has reported several significant eruptions in recent years.
