Prince Charles visits Montserrat...

Yr9 and Yr11 should recognise the Soufriere Hills volcano, on the Caribbean island of Montserrat...

As part of his tour of the Caribbean, Prince Charles visited Montserrat yesterday, and saw the long-term economic, social and environmental impacts of the 1997 eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano.

There's a video clip here of Prince Charles' visit, and an excellent article from the BBC which is well worth a read, particularly for Yr11.

More Montserrat activity...

I posted back in January about the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat... Although activity died down for a while, there have been lots of earthquakes, rockfalls and pyroclastic flows in the past couple of weeks, and according to the "Recent Activity" section of the MVO website, there was "bright glowing on the East and North of the dome" on 14th February, and the Alert Level remains at 4 (the second highest).

(Still not found a webcam though...)
