It's important to note that:

* Active volcanoes are those that have erupted in the last 10,000 years and are likely to erupt again.

* Extinct volcanoes are those that have not erupted in the last 10,000 years and are not expected to erupt again.

Mount Pelée last erupted in 1902, resulting in a devastating eruption that destroyed the city of Saint-Pierre and killed thousands of people. While it has been relatively quiet since then, its history of eruptions makes it clear that it is still an active volcano.
