Description
The crater area of Mount St. Helens National Monument Washington State. The north side if the mountain was subjected to a large earthquake resulting in a massive landslide followed by a tremendous explosion obliterating 1300 feet of the peak. Massive pressure winds from the blast obliterated trees, wildlife and people within a 15 square mile radius. 52 people were killed in America's largest volcano eruption in our time. Still an active volcano, a new lava dome is growing in the center of the crater. Many years from today, Mount St. Helens will again erupt as it has in the past.
