Soufrière St. Vincent Volcano - John Seach
St. Vincent, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
13.33 N, 61.18 W
summit elevation 1220 m
stratovolcano
Soufrière St. Vincent volcano is located on St Vincent Island, Caribbean. The Yellow Tephra Formation was deposited during explosive eruptions 4300 years ago.
Explosions and lava extrusion accompanied the last eruption of the volcano in 1979.
In February 2005 sulphurous odours and haze was reported on the island of St. Vincent and as far as the Grenadines 50-75 km south. This resulted from changes in wind patterns rather than increased gas output.
