Volcanologists in the field | |||
 Locko shows a somewhat worried Roby the high activity of the volcano. |  This pluviometer collects ash erupted by the volcano and washed to the ground by rain. |  From destroyed buildings at Blackburne Airport Locko and Roby observe the volcano. |  The team observe the ash cloud drifting towards the ghost town of Plymouth. |
 Tappy digs a deep hole into the thick layer of ash where we will place the wideband seismometer of the MULTIMO project. |  Strong hands are a must for volcanologists just as much as are smart minds... |  The wideband seismometer is in place: since it records waves in three dimensions it must be precisely aligned to the North. |  It alsomust be placed deeply, making Locko's work hard. He aligns the seimometer vertically by pressing ash around it. |
 Now that the seismometer is fixed in its final position it can be connected to the power source. |  An array of pressimeters will register the pressure waves in the air. |  Cables and even more cables will connect the pressimeters to power source and data collectors. |  Using GPS Locko determines the exact position of each pressimeter along the array. |
 Below a burning tropical sun a volcanologist protects the acoustic sensors with covers able to transmit pressure waves. |  A test pressure wave is used to check if all acoustic sensors are working properly. |  Sometimes field work is great fun: Shadowing the computer screen from the bright tropical light. |  A cloud passes in front of the sun, letting us observe the first seismic waves. |
 A geologist checks the activity of the volcano. |  Volcanologists discuss the activity at the new Montserrat Volcano Observatory. |  A volcanologist checks the volcano by binoculars from Jack Boy Hill. |  One of the last analog seismometers at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory. |
