Steam pours from a fissure cutting the summit of La Soufrière in September 1976.  Intermittent phreatic eruptions had begun in July and continued until March of the following year.  This view from the north shows the Les Santes islands at the right and the tip of Dominica Island in the distance.  Photo by Richard Fiske, 1976 (Smithsonian Institution).
