The annual Calabash Children’s bus tour made a special pit stop at MVO this week! They learned all about the volcano, how we monitor it, and enjoyed some awesome photo ops with the helicopter.

Last night, we closed #SHV30 in Salem—a place where many once gathered for comfort, connection, and strength during the eruption.

The SHV30 Street Part was a tribute to our shared journey.

Thank you, Salem, and thank you to all who came out.

On 25 June 1997, pyroclastic flows from a sudden dome collapse at Soufrière Hills devastated several villages. 19 lives were lost, and 5 others severely injured. We remember them today and reflect on the impact of this tragic event in our shared history. #Montserrat #SHV30
