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 south-southeast.

Recent observations: A crystal-clear sky greets the morning at the volcano, enabling viewers of Johnston Ridge Observatory web cameras to see the principal steam/gas plume as it emanates from the top of the new lava dome and gently wafts over the south crater rim. Seismicity remains low but above background levels, consistent with ongoing extrusion of new lava.
