The Soufrière Hills Volcano is an active volcano located on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. It began erupting in 1995, leading to significant changes in the island's landscape and population. The eruptions have produced ash clouds, pyroclastic flows, and lava domes, impacting nearby communities. The volcano is part of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc and is monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory. Its activity has resulted in the evacuation of the capital, Plymouth, and ongoing research to understand volcanic behavior and mitigate risks for residents and visitors.
