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 north.

Recent observations: The volcano and its crater are clear but somewhat hazy today. A faint plume caused by gas emission may be visible above the active part of the dome. Seismicity and repeat photography indicate that lava extrusion and rockfalls from the growing spine are continuing. Larger rockfalls might cause dust plumes that could rise above the crater rim and be visible from Johnston Ridge Observatory and elsewhere in the vicinity.
