What is an Inactive Volcano?
An inactive volcano is one that could erupt but has not erupted for more than 10000 years.

A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.
Now there are Top 10 Most Inactive Volcano in the world.

1.Mt.Kilimanjaro
A volcano with three distinct cones, named Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa—it stands at 19,341 feet above sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro is attractive to hikers because it's one of the few high peaks that's possible to reach without any mountaineering gear (though it's still an extremely strenuous climb). Those who don't want to endure the altitude sickness can take refuge with the wildlife at Mount Kilimanjaro National Park at the base.

2.Mauna Kea
f you measure from its base beneath the ocean's surface, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world. The above-water peak is pretty impressive, too, rising 13,800 feet above sea level. The height at the summit might give you a give you a great view of the area below, but you'll want to train your eyes skyward. Being so close to the equator and with so little pollution or cloud cover, Mauna Kea is an ideal star-gazing spot, and it's become a hub for astronomers at several observatories, like the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy.

3.Mt. Saba
Where on Saba—the Caribbean's friendliest island—can you find the dormant volcano? Everywhere: the entire island was formed by volcanic activity (but, don't worry, it hasn’t seen an eruption in 5,000 years). Unfortunately, its molten beginning means that the shore on this island is rocky and cliff-like, not beachy. It is, however, a haven for hikers and divers looking to get off the beaten path, as the island is only reachable via a 15-minute plane right from neighboring St. Maarten.

4.Mt. Thrihnukagigur
When you visit the inactive Thrihnukagigur volcano, midway between Reykjavik and the Golden Circle area of Iceland, you don't just explore the lava field and hike up to the summit. Thanks to Inside the Volcano, a tour launched in 2012, you can be lowered into the crater via open elevator, and explore inside the floor of the volcanic vault. Though Thrihnukagigur erupted violently 4,000 years ago, the inside has been remarkably preserved, and you can see the untouched magma formations.

5.Volcan Mombacho
Nicaragua is home to a string of volcanoes with varying levels of extinction—you can see plenty of active volcanoes in the country if you want—but the Volcán Mombacho is reassuringly dormant. Now, its greatest draw is its cloud forest, which has been turned into a 2,500-acre forest reserve known for its biodiversity. You can enjoy the scenery from below on foot, or take it in from above with a zipline tour.

6.Mt. Eden
Mount Eden, also known as Maungawhau, is the tallest of Auckland's 50-plus volcanic peaks. From the 643-foot-high summit, you can get a 360-degree panorama of the city and harbor. You can also see a now grassy, well-preserved crater, along with the ruins of a Maori settlement. Locals use this as a fitness trail, so suit up and join them for a jog to the top. Others say that the best views are had at night, with the illuminated city below.

7.Furna do Enxofre
Like Thrihnukagigur, you can also hike in and around the ruins of a volcano in Furna do Enxofre, though the volcano isn't nearly as preserved. Still, once you descend the volcanic staircase, you can see an immense crater lake protected by a dome-shaped roof of a lava cave. There are two openings in the cave that let sunlight in, casting a glow on the rock formations at certain times of the day. Just watch out for the smell—"Furna do Enxofre" translates into "Sulphur Cave."

8.Barva Volcano
The massive, 9,500-foot-tall Barva Volcano lies in the lush Braulio Carrillo National Park. The entire Barva Volcano hike takes approximately six hours (including a stop for lunch), but if you put in the time you'll be treated to views of two crater lakes and tons of gorgeous wildlife. Bird-watching is particularly rewarding here, as you'll get a chance to spot the striking Resplendent Quetzal.

9. One Tree Hill
Auckland's One Tree Hill, also called Maungakiekie, and its surrounding Cornwall Park, was once one part of the largest Maori fortification in Auckland, built on top of the volcanic formations. The volcano's peak is marked with a giant obelisk in honor of the Maori people, along with the grave of Sir John Logan Campbell, European founder of the city. Unfortunately, you won't find the famed "One Tree," which was first cut down by a party of disgruntled workmen in the 1850s.

10.Mt. Pelee
Mount Pelée is an active volcano at the northern end of Martinique, an island and French overseas department in the Lesser Antilles island arc of the Caribbean. Its volcanic cone is composed of layers of volcanic ash and hardened lava.
