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 southeast.

Recent observations: The slow but steady lava-dome-building eruption continues, accompanied by occasional earthquakes, rockfalls, and glacier quakes. Views of the crater are again obscured today by clouds and occasional moisture. Weather permitting, crews tomorrow plan to deploy several new cameras, a new seismometer, several temporary GPS instruments, and perform maintenance on equipment in the crater and flanks of the volcano.
