[edit] Life
- In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufriere Hills volcano erupted burying the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern half of the island uninhabitable. This forced more than half of the population to flee the island because they lacked housing.
