The UWI St Augustine – Experts at The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) have advised that La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent and the Grenadines remains dangerous despite pauses in explosive activity.
During a virtual press conference hosted on Wednesday, April 21, Rod Stewart, volcano-seismologist from the UWI-SRC/Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) said “although it is easy to identify the start of eruptions, conclusively saying when eruptions are over, often proves more difficult”.
The UWI-SRC and Vincentian authorities continue to monitor developments at the volcano, as they have been since the onset of heightened activity in December 2020, which entered an explosive phase on April 9, 2021.
