La Soufriere Volcano

On 9 April 2021, La Soufrière erupted for the first time after 40 years, sending an ash plume of 10km into the sky. The resulting ashfall was very heavy in the surrounding areas, reaching nearby islands and halting area air traffic. Subsequent eruptions, lava flows, earthquakes, ash plumes, and seismic activity continued throughout April. The last big eruption with ash plume was 22 April 2021. In early May, explosions subsided, but seismic activity and the risk of lahars remain. At Wallilabou we experienced a tremendous amount of ash.
