	All about Mount Pelee Volcano La montagne Pelée, Martinique
		Mount Pelee is responsible for the worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century.
		The best time to climb mount Pelee volcano, with the best chances to see the volcano unconvered is between October to May. Mt Pelee is among the most famous volcanoes on Earth.
		Pelee volcano is located in Martinique, an island in the middle of the Lesser Antilles Arc, in the heart of the Caribbean.

	Geotimes - May 2002 - Geophenomena
		Not since Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 had anyone ever seen the kind of pyroclastic surge of hot gases that would rush over the port city of St. Pierre on May 8, at speeds between 130 to 150 meters per second, about 500 kilometers an hour, with scorching temperatures of 200 to 500 degrees Celsius.
		For the last 70 years, Mount Pelée has rested dormant in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean — providing an excellent opportunity for volcanologists and tourists to clamber up its slopes and hike the trail to the summit.
		One hundred years ago, government officials in Martinique made the mistake of assuming that, despite signs to the contrary, Mount Pelée would behave in 1902 as it had in 1851 — when a rain of ash from what they considered a benign volcano surprised, but did not harm those living under its shadow.

		If the precatastrophic volcanic activity then shown by Mount Pelee were to occur today, modern volcanologists, having gained ninety years of cumulative experience since the 1902 eruption, would very likely urge immediate evacuation of the city regardless of other circumstances.
		Gaston Landes, a professor at the high school in St. Pierre in 1902, said that ash and the sulfur smell from Mount Pelee would not cause great damage, and if the volcano erupted lava flows, they could not reach the city because too many ridges and valleys stood in the way.
		Before the eruption, Mount St. Helens was one of the premier outdoor playgrounds in the state of Washington, being easily accessible to the major population centers of Portland and Seattle.

	De Kracht van vulkanen: Mount Pelée
		Langzaam aan kwam de Mount Pelée weer tot rust, maar in october 1902 ontdekten geologen dat uit de krater van L'Etang Sec (zo heet een van de twee kraters van de vulkaan) een reusachtige zuil van gestolde lava oprees, omhoog gestuwd door de druk in de vulkaan.
		Deze vulkaan, de Mount Pelée was een stratovulkaan van zo'n 1400 m.
		Ze waren er tot mei 1902 vertrouwd mee, alsof het een vredig slapend draakje in hun achtertuin was.

	HawaiiNews.com: Chronology of a volcanic disaster
		The north end of the island is dominated by Mount Pelée, whose name--"bald" or "peeled" mountain--refers to the scarcity of vegetation at its summit when French colonists arrived in 1635.
		When Mount Pelée reawakened in 1902, citizens of Saint-Pierre expected the volcano to mimic its past sluggish behavior, and they assumed that their city offered a safe haven from any lethal volcanic activity.
		The first eruption of Mount Pelée witnessed by colonists was phreatic (steam-driven) and occurred in 1792.

		The risk of mudflows and floods is greatest on Mount St. Helens during the winter months when precipitation is heaviest and the snowpack is thickest.
		Remind students that when Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, it was capped by snow and numerous glaciers.
		And before the day ended, nearly all the streams that had their sources on Mount St. Helens were affected by mudflows.

	CVO Website - Pyroclastic Flows and Surges
		Mount Pelée in Martinique, West Indies, and Lassen Peak and Mono domes in California are examples of lava domes.
		During the 1902 eruption of Mont Pelée (Martinique, West Indies), for example, a nuee ardente demolished the coastal city of St. Pierre, killing nearly 30,000 inhabitants.
		Pyroclastic flows commonly are produced either by the fallback and downslope movement of fragments from an eruption column or by the direct frothing over at the vent of magma undergoing rapid gas loss.
