Montserrat Volcanic Eruptions
January 6, 2009 | Earth Observatory


“The Montserrat Volcano Observatory’s weekly bulletin for December 26 - January 2, 2009, described an increase in volcanic activity over the previous week, including pyroclastic flows—avalanches of scorching gas, rocks, and debris—regularly reaching the bottom of Tyers (or Tyres) Ghaut, a tributary of the Belham Valley, on the side of Soufriere Hills Volcano. Some pyroclastic flows even infiltrated the upper portion of the Belham River. The bulletin also reported ash falls over Isles Bay, Garibaldi Hill, Old Towne, Salem, and Olveston.” Quoted from the Earth Observatory article.
