The volcanos in Second Life are a lot easier to visit (and safer to visit) than those in real life. According to the Second Life Wiki, the moles who terraformed Second Life Mainland made an effort to create realistic volcanic islands. There also seems to be a brisk market for volcanos on the marketplace.
I am going to focus mainly on volcanos that are on the Mainland or easy to visit.
Let's start with a fumerole in the Sunrise Islands Waterway. Unfortunately, you cannot stand on it and the teleport will land you in the water. Just fly up. This was made by Silent Mole. I think perhaps the reason it is phantom is so that it will not be an obstacle to ocean travel.

One of my favorite volcanos is in Whimsy-Kaboom, a private area generously open to tourists. Here you can actually control the volcano.
One of the more famous volcanos on the Mainland is Mount Ga'al (or "G'al"). The edges of Mount Ga'al are unstable, so the best way to get a view of the volcano is by taking a balloon ride from the roof of the Mahulu info hub. There is a tiny volcano display on the first floor.

Something I didn't know for a long time was that you can go inside Mount G'Al. You should be careful, though, because when there are trying times in Second Life residents try to propitiate the volcano by offering sacrifices..., individuals and sometimes whole groups.
The Orwood Volcano, in the Sea of Fables, actually has two craters.
In Quat there is an extinct volcano whose cauldron is full of hot water. Unfortunately, a group has limited access to the very top, but you can cam up from the landing point.
There is an extinct volcano in Uli, which the parcel owners allow access to, and have even provided a nice area to sit for a while.

You can buy a big volcano from Felixx Shepherd at Da Vinci Gardens. When I went to look at the demo, it appears that the volcano includes undersea caves.

You can get a smaller volcano for free from the Arcadia Asylum Library and Freebie Center in Mieville Pond. It comes in a set called "Cannibal Island", but if you just want the volcano it is available on the Marketplace (Aleymart - everything free).

Want to learn more about volcanos? The Field Studies Centre at Bowness is an educational center with a lot of information on different geologic activity. Unfortunately, you can't teleport directly to the volcano, but it isn't hard to find.
Thanks to an article by Gemma Cleanslate in the SL Newser, I found out that there are also volcanos in Bellisseria. Here is one in the Methuselah Region.
