For some time now, persons here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines have been speculating about what would feature in the crater of the La Soufrière volcano once the explosive eruption phase subsided.
Questions surfacing on call-in radio programmes included: Would it leave a lake as it did after the 1971 eruption? Will there be another dome as was seen with the culmination of the 1979 activity?

Kingstown – Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves says his government expects that most evacuees from the volcano Orange Zone and people whose houses were damaged by the La Soufriere eruption are to leave emergency shelters by next Tuesday.
He said only those from Fitz Hughes and Chateaubelair – where there is still a lot of ash would not be allowed to go.
“But everywhere else in the Orange Zone, as I speak, persons should be leaving the shelters to go back home,” the prime minister said, speaking on NBC Radio from Cuba where he has gone to accompany his wife for therapy after spinal surgery in the United States earlier this year.
