Unrest at the Soufrière Hills Volcano continues to trend downward, according to the latest assessment by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) following its meeting last week.
Dr. Graham Ryan, Director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, reported that the rate of volcanic pressurization has slowed and fumarole temperatures are steadily decreasing.
In its report the SAC says overall level of unrest at Soufreire Hills Volcano, following the 1995 eruptive period, continues to decrease.
