Soufrière Hills
The Soufrière Hills volcano is an active, complex stratovolcano with many lava domes forming its summit, on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. After a long period of dormancy, the Soufrière Hills volcano became active in 1995, and has continued to erupt ever since. Its eruptions have rendered more than half of Montserrat uninhabitable, destroying the capital city, Plymouth, and causing widespread evacuations: about two thirds of the population have left the island.
The volcano is named for the French word ''soufrière'', meaning "sulphur outlet". It is andesitic in nature and the current pattern of activity includes periods of dome growth, punctuated by brief episodes of dome collapse which result in pyroclastic flows, ash venting, and explosive eruption. The volcano is monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
==Early history==
* 2460 BCE (± 70 years): An explosive eruption formed English's Crater.
* 1550 AD (± 50 years): Between 25 and 65 million cubic metres of lava was erupted at Castle Peak.〔
