Yorkshire Museum Image reference: YORM_TA218

Photographs from St Vincent after the 1902 eruption of La Soufriére volcano.

View down into part of the lower reach of the Wallibou river where the valley makes a ~90º bend to the west (likely one of three tributary confluences). The volcano is visible in the top left portion of the image. The valley floor is flat/gently sloping and unvegetated, it is incised by one primary channel, the margins of which have multi-level terraces in some areas. The river, which is anastomosing, occupies a small part of the incised channel, and occupies roughly 5% of the valley floor. Hills of the valley margins are vegetated; what appear to be remnant dead tree trunks protrude from the canopy.
