In the Netherlands, there are no active volcanoes at the moment; however, there is 3 known extinct volcanoes that have been discovered in recent years.
The most popular extinct volcano is the Quill. The Quill is a dormant volcano located in the Caribbean Netherlands. The volcano is at 601 meters above sea level, which makes it the second highest mountain in the Netherlands as well. The name itself comes from a Dutch word "Kuil" which is a pit or hole, and this is because of the shape of the original volcanic crater.The Quill was designated by the Netherlands as a National Park and is used by many as hiking trails.

Yes, extinct volcanoes are more widespread than you might think. Do you know what type of volcano the Quill was?
