Mt. Fitzherbert

Aerial views taken on 2005-Nov-09

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift east-northeastward.

Recent observations: Broken clouds flirt with the volcano this morning and provide intermittent views of the crater. The data streams coming in show that the remarkably regular, small “drumbeat” earthquakes continue to occur about every one to two minutes. Results of Wednesday's gas flight show that gas emissions remain low and are similar to those measured on the previous several flights.
