Mt. Fitzherbert

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 east-northeastward to northeastward.

Recent observations: The eruption continues with no changes in previously reported patterns of activity. Field crews took advantage of Friday’s good weather to make visual observations in the crater, improve a seismometer station on the 1980-1986 dome, and deploy a new GPS spider on the active portion of the 2004-2006 dome.
