Two different volcanic eruption "best of" (or is that worst of? probably depends on how close you are) compilations for 2010.
One is the Eruptions Blog Pliny Award, which I commented on with nominations, a couple of which were picked up as Honorable Mentions (Erta Ale, Pacaya) -- and my top two were the consensus top 2, Merapi as first runner-up, who will serve in case the Pliny Award-winning volcano is unable to fulfill its duties; and the attention-grabbing, tongue-twisting (unless you're
Icelandic) glacier-melting Eyjafjallajokull.
The other is Discovery Channel's top 10 listing,
Top Volcanic Eruptions of 2010
which has some Kamchatkan volcanoes listed, and Santiaguito in Guatemala, which I didn't notice at the time. The Eruptions Blog Santiaguito post has a couple of links to some wild and crazy, emphasis on the crazy, videos of tourists standing on the crater rim when the volcano lets loose. Not an activity for the faint of heart.
