One of the tallest peaks in the Atlantic Ocean happens to be this ocean basin's most active volcano. There, the volcano referred to as Pico de Fogo towers to a height of 2,829 meters or 9,280 feet. However, this height becomes all the more impressive when you realize that it also includes another 3500 meters from the bottom of the ocean floor to reach sea level. Fogo has historically produced one of the planet's longest historical eruptions (which was 261 years in length) and is statistically the most likely volcano to erupt again in the nation of Cape Verde.
