Volcano's were not discoved as such because they are a lanform and have been around forever. They are made by the tectonic plates pushing together. If you want to say they were found by someone in particular then they were 'discovered' by cavemen.

The first documented record of a volcanic eruption was in ancient Roman writings around 79 A.D, when Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the city of Pompeii. However, indigenous cultures in various parts of the world likely observed and understood volcanoes long before this written record.
