What's the plural form of the word "volcano"?

The plural form of the word "volcano" is "volcanoes". It follows the standard English grammar rule for forming plurals of nouns that end in o preceded by a consonant — we add "es" instead of just "s". Another example would be "hero" becoming "heroes". But not all words that end in 'o' follow this rule, like "pianos" or "photos". Language is a fascinating puzzle, isn't it? Did you encounter the word "volcano" in a particular context?
