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 northeast.

Recent observations: The lava dome continues to grow accompanied by low rates of seismicity, deformation and volcanic gas emissions. The view from the JRO camera shows normal steaming from the lava dome and clouds just above the crater rim. As the weather warms through the week, we expect an increase in rockfall from the crater walls.
