Observing the 1979 eruption of La Soufrière St Vincent
A collection of photos and video taken by Sir Steve Sparks during the 1979 eruption of La Soufrière St Vincent.
See the eruption through the scientists from the UK and the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Unit, who carefully monitored La Soufrière during the 1979 eruption.
This eruption was only the third eruption where volcanic sulphur was detected by satelite.
Accumulating Evidence - La Soufrière St Vincent 2020-21
In December 2020, a new lava dome was spotted growing in the crater of La Soufrière St Vincent. It continued to grow until early April 2021 when an explosive eruption ocurred.
This exhibit shows how scientists and observers collated data from many sources to gain a better understanding of the eruption.
