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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Another glorious day at the mountain. Field crews yesterday installed infrastructure for a new still camera, surveyed river channels, and continued with annual maintenance of the seismic network. Crews will be out again today doing similar tasks. The eruption continues, with no significant changes in activity. The good weather will afford excellent views from the visitor's centers, from which the new dome and extended arms of the Crater Glacier will be quite obvious.
