The Active Volcano in the Caribbean; Soufrière Hills

The Caribbean has a number of active volcanoes, such as Pelee and La Soufriere. One of these volcanoes produced a large eruption between 1995 and 1997, which lead to a partial evacuation of Montserrat. I am referring to the Soufrière Hills volcano. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future.
