Mt. Fitzherbert

Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise high above the crater rim today would drift southward.

Recent observations:This morning's views from the U.S. Forest Service's VolcanoCam show a freshly snow-covered volcano, blue sky, and a small steam plume rising from the new lava dome and drifting over the south crater rim. Tomorrow we plan a full day in the field to conduct a variety of observations.
