Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift east-southeastward.

Recent observations: Clouds continue to obscure the crater. Seismic data suggest there has been no change in level of activity, and GPS instruments on and near the new lava dome have shown little movement during the past few days. Views of the crater last Thursday, however, indicated that the spine of lava near the north end of the new dome continues to grow.
