Mt Soufrière Volcano & the Actively Growing Lava Dome


Listen Later

Lava began oozing out of La Soufrière volcano in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Dec. 29. Scientists with UWI Seismic Research Center,(SRC) located in Trinidad and Tobago, said there was no explosive eruption. Instead, the magma reaching the surface is forming a growing dome in La Soufrière's crater. The volcano is also releasing gas and steam thus causing the alert level on the northern end of the island of St. Vincent, where La Soufrière sits, been raised to orange. We spoke to the geologist and volcanologist and the director of SRC, Dr. Richard Robertson, on the volcanic activity of La Soufrière. At the time of this interview, Dr. Richard Robertson was in St. Vincent & the Grenadines along with other members of SRC monitoring the volcano.
