Which volcano is most active?

Hi Anna,
Most people consider Kilauea (here in Hawai'i) to be the most active. It has
erupted more than 50 times since the late 1700's when westerners arrived (and of
course it erupted many more times than that when only Hawaiians lived here). A
few people claim that Piton de La Fournaise on Reunion island in the Indian
ocean is the most active.
Sincerely,
