"Ring of Fire" Refers to the zone made up of the Philippines, Hawaii, Polynesia, the Marianne Island and others. Of the five hundred known active volcanoes on the Earth, more than half are scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean in the above said zone. There are also turbulent volcanoes in Mexico and the Lesser Antilles in Central America and the Andes ranges including Peru, Bolivia, and Southern Chile. Other areas where there is volcanic activity are the Azores and New Zealand. The largest volcano on the land is Kilimanjaro in the East Africa. It is about 19,600 ft high.

I have been to some locations in the Ring of Fire without knowing it. I have traveled to Hawaii, French Polynesia, New Zealand and Mexico. I saw a volcano when I was in St Lucia. I wouldn't want to see a volcano erupt. That would be really scary.
