The "Volcanic Seven summits"
Similar to the seven summits but with volcanos. The advantage of the volcanic seven summits are a lower cost of entry. A number of them crossover with the seven summits and second seven summits such as Ojos del Salado, Kilimanjaro and Elbrus. Another advantage is at the time of writing unlike with the seven summits nobody has climbed all the mountains in the list below.
