Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2006-Aug-17 11:30
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 would drift southward today.
Recent observations: The clouds have lifted and the crater is clearly visible form the JRO web cam at this time. A magnitute 3.1 earthquake associated with the ongoing eruption occurred last night at 22:41 hours. Otherwise the faint drum-beat of siesmicity associated with spine extrusion continues unabated and is punctuated every hour or two with small earthquakes and rock falls.
