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 southward at low elevations and westward above 10 km elevation.

Recent observations: The mountain remains incredibly quiet as lava oozes passively onto the south crater floor, the only indication of activity being an occasional tiny earthquake and periodic rockfall from the growing dome. The weather remains remarkably clear, giving curious observers perfect viewing conditions.
