Sulfur crystals are deposited around fumarolic vents at Galway's Soufrière on the south flank of Soufrière Hills volcano. Pyroclastic flows from a growing lava dome spilled over the south rim of the summit crater down the White River Ghaut valley and buried this frequently visited fumarolic area in April 1997.
