If it is a single island, it is simply known as a volcanic island! If however it is a chain or string of separate islands then it may be a volcanic island arc (these form parallel to trenches at subduction zones) or a volcanic island chain (these form where a mantle plume creates a hotspot and may be in the centre of a tectonic plate. A good example would be the Hawaiian island chain). They can also form a cluster of islands (an archipelago) such as the Canary Islands (again formed by hotspot volcanism) in the Atlantic of the coast of Morocco.
Groups of volcanoes are called volcanic fields or volcanic complexes. These can consist of several individual volcanic centers that are closely spaced or interconnected geologically.
