Montserrat is only 40 or so miles to the SW of Antigua and is visible when conditions are right. It is a British Overseas Territory with a population around 6000. It is smaller than Antigua but has an active volcano that currently is at a Hazard Level of 3 on a 5 point scale. Yesterday, the volcano emitted a fairly large ash cloud. The last major volcanic explosion was on January 3 of this year. Check out more info at:
