About Volcanic National Parks and Monuments

Particularly in the western United States, large areas that have shown volcanic activity in the past have been set aside as national monuments, national volcanic monuments, national parks, or national volcanic parks operated by the National Park Service or National Forest Service.

This group would include the ones actually called "Volcanic National Monument" (Mount St. Helens and Newberry) as well as the other areas set aside as national volcanic parks, national monuments, etc.: Lassen, Craters of the Moon, Lava Beds, Sunset Crater, Crater Lake, etc. "Lava lands" on other Federal properties (BLM, etc.) would also fit in.

I know there are interesting volcanoes all over the world, but let's limit this one to US volcanoes, lava flows, etc.
