Damage to vegetation, from acidic gases emitted from La Soufriere’s growing dome, downslope of the summit continues to be observed.
The new dome continues to grow with lateral spreading of material towards the north and south, with a preferred northward growth observed.
An investigation was conducted at the Wallibou Hot Spring area on Sunday 7th February, 2021 based on a report of irregular temperatures and unusual gas smells there. Some gas sampling was done by Dr. Thomas Christopher, the temperature was taken at different points and some liquid samples were collected for further analysis.
NEMO continues to appeal to the public to desist from visiting the La Soufrière Volcano, especially going into the crater, since doing so is extremely dangerous.
