Trinidad and Tobago Newsday) reports on the ongoing activity by St. Vincent’s La Soufrière volcano.
Aerial reconnaissance at the La Soufriere volcano on Thursday showed that the effusive eruption, which began on Tuesday, is continuing. Photographs taken show that the dome continues to increase in size.
In a release, the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) said two aerial reconnaissance flights took place on Thursday. The first was carried out by the team of scientists from the UWI Seismic Research Centre as they travelled to St Vincent on Thursday morning aboard the regional security system (RSS) aircraft. However, heavy cloud cover prevented them from getting a good view of the crater.
