Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2005-Dec-25 06:45
Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift to the northeast.
Recent observations: Small rock falls continue from the growing lava dome. Larger ones may produce ash plumes that are visible above the crater rim. Patterns of earthquakes and ground deformation remain unchanged from recent trends. A small increase in RSAM levels occurred over night, but the increase is waning to levels consistent with levels recorded over the last week. There have been no visual observations of the new dome growth since December 18.
