The long slow dome growth at Volcán de Colima continues into 2010. We are now celebrating its 3rd anniversary. The dome has now reached the edge of the crater but rockfalls are infrequent reflecting the low effusion rate.
Chile 2010
Nick has gone to Chile in January to participate in a project at Villarrica and Chaitén volcanoes. At Villarrica a temporary seismic and acoustic network is being installed. A cable is being mounted above the crater to hang a video camera to get a view inside the narrow inner-crater which hosts the lava lake. If possible thermal imagery will also be taken.
