The volcanic phenomena observed in the Voyager's images of the Jovian moon Io are described, together with a review of the photographic data on other Jovian moons. Several types of volcanic activity were detected, including an explosive volcanism involving a gas-charged outflow similar to terrestrial geysers, and a kind resembling gas eruptions of volatiles that emanate from fumaroles on earth. Clouds of ash and particles resulting from the explosive eruptions were observed to rise to altitudes of 150-300 km above the surface, with the velocity of the outflow estimated at 1,000-2,000 mph. Scientific discussions concerning the so-called flux tube, an area of interaction between Jupiter and Io, are considered, as are the photographic data on Callisto's surface which suggest that Callisto is the oldest in the so-called Galilean system of the Jovian moons. Also mentioned is the evidence of markings of more than 1,000 km long on Europa, possibly indicating ice deposits.
