| Description: | The Soufrière Hills volcano is an active, complex stratovolcano on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. It has been a prodigious emitter of volcanic gases since the onset of the current eruption in 1995. Fluxes of sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen chloride (and probably water) are substantial from this arc volcano. |
