Volcanoes that have produced explosive VEI-5 eruptions. Such eruptions release a tephra volume of at least 1 km3 (0.24 cu mi) with immediate exceptional effects on the surrounding area.

For smaller volcanoes that have erupted at least 0.1 km3 (0.024 cu mi) of tephra at a time, see Category:VEI-4 volcanoes.

For larger volcanoes that have erupted at least 10 km3 (2.4 cu mi) of tephra at a time, see Category:VEI-6 volcanoes.
