Mt. St. Helens -- September, 2011

MT. ST. HELENS is an active stratovolcano located in the Pacific Northwest 96 miles south of Seattle, WA. It is best
known for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980, at 8:32 AM local time, the deadliest and most economically significant
volcanic event in the history of the United States. A massive debris avalanche triggered by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on
the Richter scale, caused the eruption, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677' to 8,365' in a matter of
minutes. Fifty-seven people were killed and the summit was replaced with a 1 mile wide horseshoe-shaped crater.

GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST THAT YOU HAVE...AND THE BEST WILL COME BACK TO YOU! --ANONYMOUS

"The region...is, of course, altogether valueless. It can be approached only from the south, and after entering it there is nothing to do but leave. Ours has been the first, and will doubtless be the last, party of whites to visit this profitless locality." --Lieutenant Joseph C. Ives comments on his 1857-1858 expedition to the Grand Canyon.
