Was Montserrat ever a big eruption?

rocky Heather


Hi Heather,

The current eruption has had some reasonably-good sized blasts, but nothing the scale of Pinatubo, for example. I think that geological mapping has shown that this type of drawn-out long-term eruption without huge explosions is typical of Montserrat.

Sincerely,
Scott Rowland
