The worlds tallest volcano is Tupungato in Chile. It is 21,500 feet tall! It wasn't classified as the tallest active volcano until it erupted in 1986. Before it erupted Cotopaxi was the tallest at 19,350 feet.
Tupungato's eruption in 1986 was only an ash eruption which didn't do much damage at all.
There was a scare in 1987 that it would erupt again except this time they thought it wouldn't just be ash, it would be a large eruption which would melt the glacier in the area which could cause huge damages. It didn't erupt but they are still monitoring it's activity.
