Mt. St. Helens

The May 18, 1980 eruption caused a massive debris avalanche, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 feet to 8,365 feet and
replacing it with a 1 mile wide horseshoe shaped crater seen in this image. The eruption was the deadliest destructive volcanic event
in the history of the United States. Mt. St. Helens remains an active volcano.

This is the last and belated image in this Pacific Northwest gallery.

I live 200 miles north of this and I heard it blow, prevailing winds scattered the ash far and wide. Great shot Jay revealing that nature gives and takes away but always renews....

I remember the eruption; this is a terrific shot, Jay. Great composition and
it's good to see life returning to this scene of such massive destruction. V.

A sobering image, given our recent experience with effects of the Icelandic eruption on airtravel and people's freedom of movement.
