¿Por qué es masculine?

Volcanes is masculine. While it derives from Latin "vulcanus" (the Roman god of fire), the gender retention explanation is incomplete. Spanish masculine nouns ending in -án are typically masculine, and this pattern (along with the Latin masculine origin) accounts for the gender. The word entered Spanish as a common noun meaning "volcano" rather than as a direct borrowing of the proper noun.
