While volcanoes are fairly common worldwide, lava lakes in volcanic craters are extremely rare. List the countries which have recorded lava lakes, both currently present, and in the past
Includes overseas territories including subantarctic claims not covered by the Antarctic Treaty
Divided into three categories. Permanent for a lava lake that has been stable for several years, Intermittent for a lava lake that appears and dissappears over time, and Historic for volcanoes that have a record of lava lakes. Question marks denote an extremely remote location where a lava lake was determined via thermal imagery from a satellite

Changed Kilauea from Permanent to Intermittent as the lava lake there has disappeared a few times in the last couple years after being present for decades prior. As of 2024, it is not present, but will likely reappear the next time Kilauea becomes more active.

The question marks denote locations,in subantarctic islands, where scientists confirmed a lava lake was present because there was a heat signal in infrared satellite imagery. Mount Michael in the South Shetland Islands near the Drake Passage, and Mawson Peak on Heard island in the southern Indian Ocean are remote enough nobody has climbed into the crater to confirm.
