Mount St. Helens

October 4th II (2004)

Mount St. Helens releases a plume of steam and ash 15,000' into the atmosphere, dusting roads and communities in the area with fine ash. I was camped overnight very near this viewpoint when it happened. I was thrilled to have captured it on camera. Spirit Lakes glass like appearance is not something I have seen many times since

March 8th (2005)

A plume of steam and ash rises 30,000' into the atmosphere during the largest eruption since the May, 1980 blast.
