The Soufriere Hills Volcano Exclusion Zone covers the southern part of the island of Montserrat. The unpredictability of the Soufriere Hills Volcano has made 2/3 of the island a high risk place to go due to lava bombs flying rocks, pyroclastic flows and lahars, and so the Montserrat authorities have excluded people from this area. Even so, some parts of the remaining 1/3 of the island are still vulnerable to these volcanic phenomena.
Visiting this area is not advised.
