Montserrat Volcano Observatory


Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 11 January
to 7 am 12 January 1998


Seismic activity overnight has been dominated by rockfall activity from the growing lava dome - the growth is still thought to be in the crater formed by the Boxing Day collapse. There were two notable mudflow signals early this morning similar to those yesterday afternoon which are suspected to have been further warm flows in the Belham River valley. Hybrid activity overnight has been at a low level.

Cloud still obscures the upper parts of the volcano, although the cloud base does seem somewhat higher than of late so that opportunities for visual observations may be possible.
