Montserrat Volcano Observatory


Morning Report
Report for the period 6 pm 23 January
to 7 am 24 January 1998


Seismic activity at the volcano overnight once again has been dominated by rockfall signals. There was a slight peak in activity at about 5 am, with a larger number of rockfalls being recorded.

The rockfall activity indicates that the lava dome continues to grow in the scar left after the Boxing Day eruption despite its apparently quiet appearance. The volcano was overcast this morning and no clear views have been obtained.
