Abstract

The Soufrière volcano in St Vincent began to erupt on 13 April 1979 after 10 months of mild premonitory activity. A series of strong vertical explosions between 13 and 26 April generated ash falls, pyroclastic flows and mudflows. From about 3 May onwards basaltic-andesite lava has been accumulating in the summit crater.
