It was dormant for centuries, inactive until the massive eruption occurred in 1995. Since that large eruption, smaller ones have occurred periodically, but with not nearly the impact the first one had. ]]> 2017-03-10 05:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159182403 Soufrière Hills, 1997 carolina_altunyay https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159182627 2017-03-10 05:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159182627 carolina_altunyay https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159182724 In 1995, Mount Soufrière suddenly erupted, wreaking havoc on the southern part of Montserrat. Plymouth, the island's capital, was completely buried in mud and ash, and the southern half of the island was rendered uninhabitable by the damage. The 1995 eruption caused no recorded deaths, but subsequent lava flows in later years have resulted in the loss of 19 lives.]]> 2017-03-10 05:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159182724 Lava flows descending carolina_altunyay https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159183081 2017-03-10 05:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159183081 carolina_altunyay https://padlet.com/carolina_altunyay/x5xsd5qn8af3/wish/159183135 The Soufrière Hills volcano is located on a small Caribbean island called Montserrat. The cone's exact coordinates are 16.7103° N, 62.1773° W, and its elevation is 3000 feet above sea level. The volcano encompasses almost half the island of Montserrat! 

In the image below, you can see how large the volcano is and how much of the island is uninhabitable due to its reach.
