La Soufriere Volcano

The ongoing explosion of the La Soufriere volcano has left the entire island of St Vincent covered in a layer of smoke. The eruption has caused a heavy cloud of ash to cover vegetation and buildings in the adjoining regions of the Caribbean island.

Hot flows of ash, rock fragments and gas tore down the flanks of the La Soufriere volcano on the tiny Caribbean island of Saint Vincent on Monday after its most powerful explosion yet, four days after it first started erupting.

A volcano that has been dormant for decades erupted Friday on Saint Vincent, darkening skies over the northern part of the Caribbean island and forcing thousands to flee to safety.
