Monserrat Volcano Activity


Seems there is a connection between the increased volcanic activity of Monserrat's volcano and the 4.5 earthquake that struck earlier today off St. Maarten [see post below], according to the Monserrat Volcano Observatory.

UPDATE: Sunday October 11 ~ "New lava dome growing on the south side..."

Plume from Monserrat Volcano


This often blows in our direction (notice Nevis and St. Kitts in the clouds to the north-west), making it hard to keep our cars clean! It also makes you wonder about the long-term effects on our health!
Click on the image to enlarge or click on the title to go to the NASA site. Notice Guadeloupe to the south, Antigua to the east and Barbuda to the north-east.
