In contrast to a peak, which is a point by definition, a volcano is often characterised by its crater, thus a polygon makes perfect sense.
I see people drawing perfectly round chimneys with one node per brick, thus a volcano certainly deserves its area. I would have recommended to sync this action with carto, but apparently that was already the source of this discussion. tom Martin Koppenhoefer wrote on 2015-03-30 13:26:
I suggest to tag volcanos on ways rather than nodes, if possible. Currently the wiki states that only nodes should be used, and while I agree that nodes might be a preliminary way of mapping, I think that typically volcanos are bigger than just a point, and would merit an area to be mapped. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Anatural%3Dvolcano Just discovered, this was changed only one year ago by user geozeisig, before there was a recommendation for areas as well: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Anatural%3Dvolcano&diff=996213&oldid=995784 Are there objections to put this back to areas or nodes? Is there support for such an action? Cheers, Martin
