Mt. Fitzherbert

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 westward.

Recent observations: The volcano remains peaceful today, as clear weather conditions continue. There are minor rockfalls off of the new dome as lava emerges slowly from the vent. Seismicity is low, as are rates of deformation. The new dome is now nearly as high as Shoestring notch on the southeast crater wall.
