Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2005-Aug-11 09:00
Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift broadly eastward.
Recent observations: Field crews had a successful day yesterday monitoring the hatching egg. They repositioned GPS stations on the volcano's flanks, retrieved samples from and repositioned an ash collection spider within the crater, obtained new thermal imagery, and made minor repairs to a seismometer station. Field work today includes a gas flight and installations of new cameras to view the dome growth from various vantage points.
