1 Mount Teide is currently a dormant volcano, but many scientists believe it will erupt again in the near future. 2  In the mid seventeenth century a group of Englishmen were the first Europeans to reach the summit of Mount Teide. The most recent eruption of Mount Teide happened in 1909. 2  It also erupted in 1798, 1706, 1705 and 1704. 3  On his voyage of discovery Christopher Columbus apparently saw the 1492 eruption of Mount Teide when he was sailing past Tenerife.
On May 18, 1980 a major volcanic eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in the state of Washington, United States.ount St. Helens remained dormant from its last period of activity in the 1840s and 1850s until March 1980. Several small earthquakes, apparently beginning on March 15, indicated that magma may have begun moving below the volcano.
