Mt. Fitzherbert

Views from Crater Rim Camera

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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Rockfalls from the west crater wall and new lava dome are producing dusty conditions in the crater today. As the newest lava spine emerges, continued slumping of older parts of the dome contributes to the spate of larger earthquakes that punctuate the low level of background seismicity. Overnight, a couple of quakes larger than M2 occurred.
