Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 1 December
to 7 am 2 December 1997


Last night at about 8 o'clock there was another pyroclastic flow down Galways. The flow is thought to have been a relatively small one because the signal did not go on for as long as it did for the flow on Thursday. After the pyroclastic flow glowing was observed from the southern side of the dome. This indicates that the dome is continuing to grow on that side. It is, however, possible for the area of growth on the dome to change quickly and pyroclastic flows can be expected to travel down ghauts on any flank of the volcano. Everyone is advised to listen to Radio Montserrat for any new information.
