Here's another map showing the pyroclastic flows:
And here are some pictures from how the capital Plymouth looked after the eruptions:
Super fascinating thanks for sharing!
I remember it happening, was all over the news! My child brain imagined rivers of lava but really it’s the pyroclastic flows that terrify me now, along with lahars
I've been on numerous Caribbean cruises and never heard of anyone even mention the island in passing. If you check it out on Google Maps you can really see the devastation.
We have a distant relative who lives in Canada whose partner is from an island that got devastated by an eruption like this. Canada issued lax rules for settlement and citizenship for the refugees but I can't for the life of me find which island it was.
Was the island Montserrat or another one? I don't really personally know them so I can't just go ahead and ask.
