September 8, 2007 - Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
Met with Flickr friends, K*IM, scubapup and dimasphoto.
My first time here. Thanks to scubapup for meeting me halfway. We saw probably thousands of birds. I'll list some I recognize below. I apologize but I am still lost at identifying birds so please forgive me for any errors.
Stupid of me to ignore birds such as ducks and gulls. I now find it interesting to identify them completely.
Based on other people's sightings, apparently, we didn't see everything at the bay. Obviously, a spotting scope is indispensable in this regard.
Here is my list:
1. Canada Goose
2. Black-crowned Night Heron (juvenile)
3. Green Kingfisher (thanks Sara!)
4. Double-Crested Cormorant
5. Greater Black-backed Gull
6. Herring Gull
7. Greater Yellowlegs
8. Mute Swan
9. Great Egret
10. Sparrows (House, Song)
11. Ducks and Mallards
12. possibly other gulls (I didn't pay attention)
13. unidentified bird (I'll post a picture) <-- Identified as a Common Tern! Hehe!
14. Long Billed Dowitchers
The jungle ... but not the humans.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.
Unedited shot of a '9/11' movie playing on my computer monitor. Taken with my Sony HX1.
10 years ago the world changed forever, and we still don't know what really happened on that horrible day...yes, there's the official story, but there are also many alternative takes on September 11, and I like to look at all the sources of information before I make up my own mind. I have collected many links to movies and other information in the last years, have a look at them on my site, and see if you still believe that 19 Arabs with box-cutters did this, or if there's more to the whole situation than meets the eye. The picture is taken from the movie 'September Clues', hopefully the author doesn't mind.

Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.

Holzmarkt: Mit Blick zum Schulberg und Pfleghof
Neben dem Markplatz am Rathaus ist der Holzmarkt
(define: Holzmarkt = Lumber market
d.h früher der Handelsplatz von: Bauholz, Nutzholz, Schnittholz, etc.)
der zweite Marktbereich in Tübingen, der das Stadtbild prägt.
Pfleghof, Schulberg, Georgs-Brunnen, Heckenhauer-Haus, ... und
besonders die Stiftskirche sind für das Erscheinungsbild des Holzmarktes verantwortlich.
Besonders die Reliefs von Maria, Georg und Martin sorgen für das Interesse der Touristen.
----------
Tübingen Holzmarkt Panorama
This is a panorama picture of the Lumber Market (Holzmarkt). The homepage of Tübingen explains: "Hermann Hesse spent some time (1895 – 1899) as an apprentice in the red house at Heckenhauer bookseller and surely enjoyed the view of the Collegiate's nuptial gateway and stairs. The Collegiate Church dominates the square which serves as a meeting place for many, as well as a marketplace. The lower city, Pfleghof, Neue Strasse and Neckargasse are accessible from there. "
The book shop is the red building in the center of the picture. It seems now to be a coffee shop.
----------
Auch auf die alte historische Buchhandlung "J.J. Heckenhauer Antiquariat", die sich hier auf dem Platz befindet, sollte man seine Aufmerksamkeit richten.
Früher, als der Gastl noch oben neben der Stiftskirche am Holzmarkt war, ( wäre hier links im Bild) war das die beste Buchhandlung Tübingens. Vor allem in den Bereichen Theologie und Philosophie gab es ein Sortiment, das Weltklasse war.
Von 1895 bis 1899 arbeitete hier der berühmte deutsche Schriftsteller Hermann Hesse als Lehrling und Gehilfe.
Neben professionellen Händlern, wird man hier auch Stände von Bauern finden, die hier um den Georgsbrunnen ihre landwirtschaftlichen Produkte anbieten.

As such, it maintains (and carefully defends) several "Roman Catholic" features, such as patron saints.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.
A show about self-improvement through self-denial
July 4 - 18, 2009
While large-scale organs of protection and improvement, such as schools, hospitals, and prisons, enforce the social contract through a restriction of choice and a remote delegation of authority, personal or cultural techniques for redirecting and mastering libido, the inner primordial chaos we carry within, can be found in the options represented by salad, church, and exercise. The deep loyalty and repulsion aroused in modern hearts by these three everyday pursuits, and their heroic and perverse obsession with denying the desires of the body, is the starting point for the works in “Salad-Church-Exercise,” fantasies that are channeled into a polymorphous menagerie of audiovisual media.

This bronze sits about a block from Montana's capitol building and although it's more an iconic Wyoming image than a Montana one, that's cool. It grabs my attention every time I go by, but especially today. These cowboys who ride these crazy horses must do it for fun as well as profit -- it's just not something I can imagine anyone doing if it wasn't at least a little bit enjoyable for them. So they get on these horses knowing that the horse's main goal is to throw them off (and then maybe trample them, if the horse is having a really bad day). No big deal. That's actually the fun part. So the cowboy slides his boots into the stirrups, makes sure that rope is cinched just about tight enough to cut off his fingers, grips that rope as if his life depends on it (because it kind of does), the gate opens, and man and beast let 'er rip.
Even for us dudes, life can be kind of like these horses sometimes -- it seems to want nothing more than to throw us off (and maybe trample us). But why is life bucking and kicking and trying to throw us to the ground? Well, we climbed on, didn't we? I mean, when life feels this way, it always seems the result of some choice or action we have taken -- like climbing on to the horse. Sure, we could have made different choices. We could have decided just to sit in the stands and watch, or even to just stay at home and avoid the rodeo altogether. But we didn't. Instead, we decided to climb on the horse and make him mad. Now the best we can do is hold on tight and hope we can survive the ride. Oh, and try to have some fun while we're at it. Keep that other hand held high and waving, Cowboy!
That's what life is like today. And what it will be like tomorrow. And for a while here. I just have to hold on tight and let 'er rip.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.

what were you listening to when you were 14?
musically, i can't quite be clear. i know i was listening to nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, probably some offspring, alice in chains, stone temple pilots, green day, live, beck.
those were the ones that, looking back, had the most influence on my life.
the ones that i listened to, and sang along to, only because they were popular and on the radio:
barenaked ladies, tlc, ace of base, oh, the lion king soundtrack came out that year, i owned the tape, garth brooks (maybe i liked him more than i am letting on..), enigma (i still like that one song they did..)
(i think i was listening to a bit of eric claptop. mom also had a rankins family cd that i recall getting played often. this may not have been 1994, though.)
this was the start. music didn't truly impact me until 2 years later. a tragedy that made me fall deep within myself, not much could reach me but music. maybe i'll dig into that later..
how about some news highlights:
-tonya harding/nancy kerrigan scandal
-winter olympics are in lillehammer!
-kurt cobain dies
-comet shoemaker-levy 9 hits jupiter. my uncle frank and i hooked up binoculars in my backyard to see what we could see. which wasn't much.. this moment helped shape who i am
-woodstock '94. 25th anniversary of woodstock. i wanted to be there so badly.. (and again in '99..)
-'friends' premiers. i still don't like it.
-netscape navigator is released. (mosaic netscape, anyone?)
-this year also sees the start of the investigation into the whitewater scandal. ooOOooh.
ok i'm done.

Immagini relative a barca solare

Barca solare di Cheope
La barca solare di Cheope è una delle imbarcazioni più antiche del mondo.
Fu scoperta dagli archeologi nel 1954 nella piana di El-Ghiza, in una fossa sul lato sud della Grande piramide. Racchiusa in una camera ermeticamente sigillata, la barca era scomposta in 1224 pezzi, il cui legno si è conservato intatto per più di 4600 anni.
Per ricostruirla sono occorsi 13 anni. Lunga circa 43 metri, ha cinque remi per lato più due a poppa, con funzione di timoni e, dal 1982, è esposta in un museo creato appositamente a fianco della Grande piramide e progettato dall'architetto italiano Franco Minissi.
Poco dopo fu scoperta un'altra barca che però, a causa delle sue cattive condizioni di conservazione, è stata lasciata all'interno della “galleria” originaria.
Problemi ancora irrisolti
Una delle domande alle quali si è cercato, tutt'ora inutilmente, di dare risposta è quale fosse la funzione di queste imbarcazioni. Nei rilievi dell'antico Egitto sono spesso raffigurate barche simili. In una tomba di Deir el Bersha è stato trovato un modello di barca che reca la riproduzione di una mummia in viaggio verso la sepoltura. Gli egittologi propendono nel credere che anche Khufu sia stato trasportato verso la tomba su un'imbarcazione funeraria simile (in effetti sembrerebbe che la barca sia stata usata in navigazione).
Resta comunque il problema per quale motivo sarebbe stata sepolta a così poca distanza da un'altra barca dello stesso tipo. E, inoltre, perché tagliarla in 1224 pezzi invece di seppellirla intera? Anche a questi interrogativi non si è riusciti a dare una risposta, considerando anche che le “barche solari” sono presenti fin dalle prime Dinastie e si ritrovano anche nella IV; mancano, invece, completamente nella III (Huni), e nel primo sovrano della IV dinastia,(Snefru).
Simbologia religiosa
Volendo dare un significato religioso e simbolico alla tumulazione della barca, sorgono alcuni problemi. I testi delle piramidi, scritti a partire dalla fine della V dinastia, fanno riferimento a due visioni dell'oltretomba. La prima, quella più antica, descrive una rinascita stellare del sovrano e del fatto che il suo ka sarebbe diventato una stella della Duat, una stella della costellazione di Orione.
La seconda espone, invece, il nuovo credo religioso, che indicava l'oltretomba ad occidente, dove ogni giorno il Sole tramonta. È evidente che i testi delle piramidi risentono della teologia di Ra e del credo che il sovrano, dopo la sua resurrezione, avrebbe seguito l'orbita del Sole in processione dietro le barche sacre degli dei. Tutti gli egittologi sono concordi nel ritenere che questo culto diventò importante soprattutto con Khafra, quarto sovrano della IV dinastia. Viene, dunque, a cadere l'ipotesi della "barca solare"; infatti, se prima di Khafra le anime dei sovrani erano destinate, come dicono i testi delle Piramidi, a volare nella Duat, nella regione di Orione, per rinascere come stelle, riesce difficile definire il ruolo di una “barca solare”.
Allo stato attuale delle conoscenze, legate alla casualità dei ritrovamenti archeologici, l'egittologia non è in grado di dare risposte certe.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island. In the most recent period of increased activity at the Soufrière Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, ash vented and there was a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain. Travel into parts of the exclusion zone is occasionally allowed, only by a licence from the Royal Montserrat Police Force.
The northern part of Montserrat has barely been affected by volcanic activity, and remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened what is now called the John A. Osborne Airport in the north. As of 2011, it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where the new capital town is being constructed; the new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
In recognition of the disaster, in 1998 the people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom, allowing them to migrate if they chose. British citizenship was granted in 2002.

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The island is located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Visitors are generally not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
A new town and port is being developed at Little Bay, which is on the northwest coast of the island. While this construction proceeds, the centre of government and businesses rests at Brades.
**********
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, erupted and soon buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe for travel. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted. The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas of most volcanic activity.
After the destruction of Plymouth and disruption of the economy, more than half of the population left the island, which also lacked housing. During the late 1990s, additional eruptions occurred. On 25 June 1997 a pyroclastic flow travelled down Mosquito Ghaut. This pyroclastic surge could not be restrained by the ghaut and spilled out of it, killing 19 people who were in the (officially evacuated) Streatham village area. Several others in the area suffered severe burns. For a number of years in the early 2000s, the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south.
