Volcanoes that have produced explosive VEI-6 eruptions. This means Volcanic Explosivity index. Such eruptions release a volume of at least 10 cubic kilometers with profound longterm effects on the surrounding area and noticeable shortterm effects on global climate.

For smaller volcanoes that have erupted at least 1 cubic kilometer at a time, see Category:VEI-5 volcanoes.

For larger volcanoes that have erupted at least 100 cubic kilometers at a time, see Category:VEI-7 volcanoes.

VEI stands for volcanic Explosivity Index.
