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 to the east-southeast to southeast.

Recent observations: Data from monitoring systems show no changes from recent trends as lava extrusion continues. The few winter photographs we have been able to obtain from an often rime-encrusted remote camera on the east crater rim show that dome growth during the past few months has resulted in broadening, especially southward, and a reduction in maximum height. Exact measurements will require additional analysis.
