This December 1971 photo shows a lava dome rising above the surface of a crater lake on Soufrière St. Vincent volcano in the West Indies. The lake temperature rose to 80°C during extrusion of the dome, but despite the presence of new magma in the crater no explosive activity occurred during the eruption.
