There is no volcano named Plinian. The term Plinian refers to a type of eruption that features a towering column of ash. There have been many such eruptions throughout history and in prehistoric times. The eruption from which the term originates was the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, which was described in detail by Pliny the Younger.
