Montserrat -
There is an area called Amersham, on Montserrat. It was affected by the
volcanic eruption in 1997. Claire Howard writes "I
have been working in Montserrat over the past 10 years. The above
picture is of Amersham - or at least as near to Amersham as you can get
nowadays. Amersham is the area immediately above the flowering bush -
you will see that it has escaped the main ash and lava flows as it lies
on higher ground. The area immediately below where the picture was taken
used to be the centre of Plymouth, the capital, which is now totally
destroyed. Amersham, which was in the suburbs, has survived, most of the
houses are at least part buried in the ash. The volcano is immediately
to the left (albeit about a mile away!), but you can see evidence of gas
and steam escaping from the volcano, if you look at the sea."
