Scientists watching Montserrat's volcano
Sunday, March 21, 2004
BRADES, Montserrat: Scientists are closely watching Montserrat's volcano after a week of increased activity that brought strong tremors and sent ash clouds into the sky, a researcher said Friday.
During the week scientists recorded several earthquakes and one rock fall from the Soufriere Hills Volcano. On Monday, an ash cloud blew from the volcano and rose an estimated 15,000 feet according to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory. The ash ejected on Monday was carried over uninhabited areas.
On March 3, an eruption sent a massive cloud of ash into the sky, but there were no injuries or damage.
