"Volcanoes" is the correct spelling. In English, when a word ends in "o" and it's preceded by a vowel, we typically just add "s" to form the plural. But for words ending in "o" followed by a consonant—like "volcano"—we often add "es" for the plural. So it's one volcano, but several volcanoes. English sure is a tricky language, eh? Put that in your grammar records!
