A small,
short-lived explosive event at Mount St. Helens volcano began at
approximately 5:25 p.m. PST, March 8, 2005. Airplane pilot
reports indicate that the resulting steam-and-ash plume reached an
altitude of about 36,000 feet above sea level within a few minutes and
drifted downwind to the northeast. The volcano's rim stands at 8,325
feet.
Periodic spurts and burps of volcanic life gurgle from the mountain. Now as of late it has been an awakening of the volcano. Sleeping dormant with little rest she awoke in 96 briefly to only return to a passive posture. Today however she is commanding attention and excitement. The dome inside the crater has grown over 10,000 feet in the last 6 months! |

A part of the Cascade Range of mountains, Mt. St. Helens began to wake from more than a hundred years of slumber in the beginning of 1980. When it ultimately erupted on May 18 of that year, the energy released actually caused the disintegration of the mountain’s top. Heavy ash and gas rose like an ominous gray plume high into the atmosphere. Around 60 people died in the eruption and its resulting after effects. The blast also killed just about everything in an area about 180 square kilometers (70 square miles), while residents much farther away found themselves contending with a fine rain of volcanic ash for days to come.

Computer experts enhanced the colors shown in this visualization to reflect
a more familiar look of a wooded area. ASTER data taken in the visible and
near infrared parts of the spectrum were draped over a digital topographic
model, itself created by the 3-D stereo imaging capabilities of the
instrument. The vertical relief of the image has been exaggerated by a
factor of two to enhance the surface features.
