Soufrière Hills

Soufrière Hills is an active volcano located on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean. It has been erupting periodically since 1995, causing significant ash fall, pyroclastic flows, and the destruction of nearby areas, including the former capital, Plymouth. The volcano's eruptions have reshaped the island's landscape and led to the relocation of many residents for safety. Despite its danger, Soufrière Hills is a well-monitored geological feature that provides valuable insights into volcanic activity and hazards, attracting scientists and tourists interested in its dynamic behavior and natural beauty.
