Hot Takes from the Volcano Watchers
Montserrat Volcano Observatory: Witness the Power of Nature
A visit to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) is an absolute must. The formerly dormant Soufrière Hills volcano erupted after more than 400 years of quiet, devastating much of the island and forever changing its landscape and the lives of its people.
The observatory offers a fascinating, educational, and humbling experience. You can learn how scientists monitor the volcano, hear firsthand about its history, and see how the island has adapted to this dramatic natural event.
Next door, Di Cracker Box is a fun spot to relax afterward with a libation; Bush Rum or apple wine and sample some local food. The views of the volcano from this area are nothing short of majestic, and it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and take it all in.
