Activity Report
"University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) and National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) reported
that the lava dome in Soufrière St. Vincent’s main crater that first formed on 27 December continued to grow during 6-12 January. Observations were made during a field visit on 5 January, during a helicopter overflight on 6 January, and based on 9 January drone video.
During that time the dome grew and expanded to the W, produced small, hot rockfalls, had a blocky appearance, and continued to emit gasses and steam. Gas-and-steam plumes were also visible from Belmont Observatory.

As volcanoes begin to spray ash after lying dormant for decades, residents of St Vincent and the Grenadines have been ordered to leave their homes.
Authorities have issued a warning for the region, impacting over 100,000 people, as the current eruption is assessed by scientists. Officials warned on Tuesday of heavy gas emissions, the creation of a new volcanic dome and improvements to the La Soufriere volcano's crater lake.
The warning level was increased to an orange today, with indications that the volcano could erupt within a day and urge people to evacuate. The decision to raise the level of alarm comes as it began to spew ash and a new volcanic dome was created.
