LOST CITY OF PLYMOUTH ~ MONTSERRAT ~ Volcano Exclusion Zone ~ UAV Drone Caribbean ~ WeBeYachting.com
Take a step inside the forbidden exclusion zone V of the old capital city of Plymouth, Montserrat, a modern Pompeii. Destroyed by several volcano eruptions over the past 20 years.
We obtained the correct special clearances/permits from the MVO “Montserrat Volcano Observatory”, the local Police and had an approved guide to enter the V exclusion zone. All sites visited, ground filming and arial filming was done in accordance to all local laws. This footage was shot within regulation of Montserrat use UAV/ drone flying rules flying procedures within regards to locations and flight hight limits.
Montserrat (/mɒntsəˈræt/) is a Caribbean island—specifically in the Leeward Islands, which is part of the chain known as the Lesser Antilles, in the British West Indies. It is a British Overseas Territory. Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (10 mi) long and 11 km (7 mi) wide, with approximately 40 km (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 many 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. Between 1995 and 2000, two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee, primarily to the United Kingdom. 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 that extends from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley was 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. It is the most studied volcano in the world and Montserrat is regarded as a 'Modern Day Pompeii' in the Caribbean.
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.

MONTSERRAT ~ Statue Rock ~ Best UAV Drone Caribbean ~ WeBeYachting.com
Montserrat is one incredibly beautiful mountainous Caribbean island, part of the Lesser Antilles chain and a British Overseas Territory. Sadly Its Soufrière Hills volcano first erupted in the 1990s, causing devastation to the southern part of the island which is now an exclusion zone. The north part of the island is largely unaffected, and has unique black sand beaches, coral reefs, breath taking cliffs, shoreline caves and a new city.
Visitors are politely told that Montserrat is not a volcano; it has a volcano and assured that the north part of the Island remains entirely safe, with the Soufrière Hills volcano is under round-the-clock monitoring by a MVO “Montserrat volcano observatory”. As is often the way in the aftermath of disaster, the close-knit community has forged stronger bonds than ever. Crime is a rarity, front doors and vehicles are unlocked, with the PEOPLE making the island magical. For first-time visitors to the Caribbean island of Montserrat, some of the local vocabulary evokes Geology 101. Words like “pyroclastic flow,” “seismic” and “dome collapse” pop up often in conversations with native islanders and longtime residents.
There is much to do in Montserrat other that visiting volcano devastation exclusion zones, there is epic nature hiking trails, black sand beaches, even a nice hike that will take you to the only white sand beach on the island. Drop an email to Sunny Lea, he is a wealth of local knowledge and is an amazing tour guide.

Bramble Airport Buried Forever ~ MONTSERRAT ~ Exclusion Zone V ~ Drone Caribbean ~ WeBeYachting.com
Take a look at the lost W.H. Bramble airport destroyed by multiple volcano eruptions. We where not allowed to enter this part of the exclusion zone V. The footage seen here was shot from the safety zone of Jack Boy Hill.
W.H. Bramble Airport, also known as Blackburne Airport, was a small international airport on the east coast of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. It was named after Montserrat Chief Minister William Henry Bramble.
The airport was destroyed in 1997 by an eruption of the nearby Soufriere Hills volcano, which obliterated much of the southern part of the island. For several years after the disaster, Montserrat was only accessible by helicopters or boats, until July 2005, when the new Gerald's Airport (now John A. Osborne Airport) was completed at the north end of the island. Bramble Airport had used the IATA airport code MNI, but this has now been transferred to the new airport.
Today only a few visible structures can be seen, The airport was is permanently damaged and is not repairable.
History
Montserrat is a small island, only 10 miles long by 7 miles wide, located in the Leeward Islands chain of the Lesser Antilles. It is only about 40 square miles in size, but due to recent volcanic activity it is actually increased in size.
Despite being diminutive, the location and topography of Montserrat proved to be attractive to early explorers. Christopher Columbus was first reported to have spotted the island in 1493 and he named it Santa Maria de Montserrat for a monastery in Catalonia, Spain.
Disaster Strikes
Montserrat has fallen victim to natural disasters multiple times in its history. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo would kill 21 people and destroy 90% of the island, causing an estimated $300M in damage. Despite the near total destruction of the island, they would receive aid and rebuild. In July of 1995, the previously-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano would erupt. It would send pyroclastic lava flows in all directions – including toward the town of Plymouth. By August of 1995 residents were evacuated when fragmented volcanic ash began to fall on the town; several months later the residents were allowed to return. On June 25th, 1997, another eruption would see the town almost completely overcome by pyroclastic surges. Nineteen people were killed, and once again Plymouth was evacuated. Soufrière Hills would continue to erupt into August, and eventually bury 80% of Plymouth.
Volcanic Exclusion Zone & The Future
The government has prohibited anyone from entering the area affected by the pyroclastic flows. Even homes that were not overcome by the flows were forced to be abandoned (see below). If the roads to get to these homes weren’t destroyed, the plumbing and electrical infrastructure was. The inability to rebuild in the area has left these otherwise sound structures to sit empty and rot. Recovery of Plymouth would be next-to impossible. The hard pyroclastic flow buries the town in a concrete-like rock. Sewage pipes are severed. There is very little grass or soil and the town has a moon-like surface covered in rock and large boulders. Rebuilding would require large-scale demolition not available to Montserrat; heavy equipment and explosives would be needed just to break up the rock, and the now-infertile scorched earth beneath offers little incentive to try. Even if the island had the capability to rebuild, the cost to do so would be astronomical, further reducing the chance that Plymouth Montserrat will ever return.

Back Home in Montserrat | VLOG
I didn’t just go back home to the Caribbean for a holiday. I went back home because I had many questions that I needed to ask. I recently lost someone who was like family to me and I also just want to take some time off just to get away to clear my head and enjoy my time. It was a great experience for me to go back especially on my own for the first time and learn things. I was not able to get a break last year when I was doing my academic journal while finishing off my last year at uni. It was a great way to start my 2018 and I look forward to many more visits to the Caribbean. I now look forward to finishing off my masters, attending qualitative sports conference in Canada and other events.

Montserrat - Rendezvous Village & N.W. Bluff Hike 2010
Hiking has become a challenge on Montserrat and in order to avoid the ash, we revert to the more arid areas of the island in the Northwest corner. The long hike through the hot sun is well worth the effort. The view from the top of the hillside is spectacular. Eventually, we have to return from where we came..
MONTSERRAT: VOLCANO ACTIVITY STILL CAUSE FOR ALARM
English/Nat
Scientists and the remaining residents on the Caribbean island of Montserrat are nervously watching the Soufriere Hills volcano as it spews ash into the sky.
The volcanic eruptions have left thousands of people homeless, but some are still refusing to leave their homes.
Many have now moved from the danger zones in the south to the safer north side of the island.
As the Soufriere Hills volcano continues to choke Montserrat with deadly dust, all those left on the island can do is watch and hope.
The dust clouds may be an impressive sight, but to the people of this tiny Caribbean island they are a constant reminder of the threat which hangs over their homes and families.
Some islanders have already left their homes for neighbouring islands but those who are left are at the mercy of the volatile mountain and the fickle winds.
Scientists are keeping a constant watch over the volcano, but even they cannot predict its next move.
The sun, once one of the island's main attractions is now blocked out by the heavy dust clouds.
The ash has now covered the central part of the 18-kilometre-wide (11-mile-wide) island, including west central villages where half of the remaining 4-thousand residents live.
The island's capital Plymouth has long since been abandoned.
The latest eruptions have sent avalanches of searing hot gases, ash and rocks barrelling through Plymouth - burning most buildings.
The islanders know that sooner or later the volcano will begin a full-scale eruption.
On Thursday, some of them boarded a ferry to take them off the island.
Many of them hope it will just be a temporary evacuation, and that they will one day be able to return to their island home in safety.
But for those who are left under the shadow of the mountain, life goes on.
This temporary hostel, known as the Scraps memorial shelter, is now home to people forced to leave the southern side of the island.
The northern part of Montserrat - about one third of the land mass - is largely protected from lava flows.
But authorities fear the potentially toxic fallout could prove lethal to residents - making evacuations necessary.
Teresa Sweeney is one resident who has decided that enough is enough.
She plans to leave for Britain soon.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The point at which I decided to leave the island was after I've been over in the hills and seen the last pyroclastic flow. That made me move. After the town was destroyed and after I saw it with my own eyes. And I think the dome is getting much bigger and the island is too small for it.
SUPER CAPTION: Teresa Sweeney, Montserrat resident
One man who runs a diving school in Montserrat says he's staying because it would be financially impossible for him to leave.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The business is lousy because the bad publicity of Montserrat does not bring tourists. We have... most people don't flee because we have a volcano. They flee because of the terrible social conditions we have.
SUPER CAPTION: Wolf Krebs, Diving school owner in Montserrat
The Soufriere Hills volcano came to life on June 25th - after two years of inactivity.
Experts are expecting still more and stronger eruptions.
