Living with a volcano

The Caribbean island of Montserrat exploded into the world’s headlines in 1995. After centuries of dormancy the island’s Soufrière Hills volcano erupted with such ferocity that the southern portion of the island was eventually evacuated. The volcano is still active and is now closely monitored. The island has been divided into zones according to levels of risk
