Montserrat Volcano Observatory


Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 24 December
to 7 am 25 December 1997

M e r r y C h r i s t m a s ! ! !

Overnight the volcanic activity has been elevated with an increase in the number of seismic signals recorded. The predominant events now appear to be hybrid earthquakes which are of a slightly different form to those seen before. The dome is continuing to grow and pyroclastic flows could occur down any of the ghauts on the volcano with no further warning. Everyone is advised to listen to Radio Montserrat for any new information.

The staff of MVO would like to wish all Montserratians, both at home and abroad, and all recipients of the daily reports across the world, a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
