Does anyone know if they've uncovered the villages on Montserrat
after
the eruptions in the nineties?

I remember seeing some aerial pictures in the last three months or
so that suggest not. Can't remember the URL.
Google is my friend. I'll see what I can find.
The question popped up in the family recently, when Simen suddenly
asked questions about how Pompeii could have been buried so quickly. I
fired up NASA's WorldWind program and showed him a LandSat 7 photo of
Montserrat, while explaining the concept of pyroclastic flows for him.
On NASAs photo, the flows from the volcano covers almost a third of
the island, but I don't know how old the image is. It must have taken
NASA some years to collect enough detail shots to display the whole
globe without obstructive clouds.
