Mt. St. Helens
Posted: Fri May 22, 2020 7:12 am
Monday the 18th was the 40th anniversary of the largest volcanic eruption in the lower 48 states in roughly 500 years (also at St. Helens). As a small child, this was a formative event for me and sparked my interest in natural events and processes. It was a dream come true to finally visit the mountain a few years ago, and to stand near the shores of Spirit Lake. I planned on returning this year, but COVID-SARS-2 ended that dream. No matter; the mountain will be there when it's safe to visit.
The shattered north face.
Heavy equipment were toys, tossed about
The south side where the huge mudflow emerged.
