Where do Vulcanian eruptions they get their name from? No surprises here when I tell you it is from the Volcano Vulcano, one of the Aeolian Island volcanoes which has most commonly exhibits this kind of activity. There are several great textbooks with more information on this type of activity - Volcanoes by Lockwood and Hazlett and of course Volcanoes by Francis and Oppenheimer. I am sure there are more!
