What a climax to an already tumultuous year!
With just days before we put a wrap on everything that was 2020, it refuses to go quietly and Vincentians are being given a send-off like no other – eruptions are taking place at our volcano and we have recorded the first two Covid-19 cases for which the source of infection cannot be identified.
Despite these recent developments, there is every reason to look to the future with optimism. Vincentians’ record of dealing with natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions is good. Compared with 41 years ago, when La Soufriere last erupted, our means of communication and transportation are greatly enhanced, the science of volcanology has advanced and our emergency management and response systems are well established and robust.
De Suffray ah boil!

CDEMA, Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency – The alert level for St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ La Soufriere volcano has been elevated to Orange – the third highest of four levels – because of increased activity at the site.
Monitoring systems, satellite imagery and visual observations have confirmed increased seismic and fumarolic activity, strong gas emissions, emergence of a satellite dome on the South-East of the existing volcanic dome and changes to the crater lake.
An effusive eruption within the crater, with visible gas and steam, was also observed on 29 December 2020.
