Spent the last week camping in the #Washington Cascades. One of the days we took a little side trip to Mount Saint Helens. I can't recommend it strongly enough for anyone who is interested in #geology or #volcanoes .... Simply awe inspiring. #volcano #MtStHelens

Landslide on Highway 504, Mt. St. Helens, which trapped vehicles at the observatory/visitors center.

It's hard to beat a photo that has both paintbrush and a stratovolcano in it. I think the plant species is scarlet paintbrush (Castilleja miniata).

43 years ago today, Mt St. Helens erupted, decimating the region with the force of around 35 megatons of TNT (Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima was 15 kilotons for comparison)
I got lucky one day in 2021 when the weather was picture-perfect ~ it's frequently not so hit the visitor's center before you take the rather long drive up to the observatory.

May 18 1980 was the day that inspired me to study geology as an undergrad. I was so enthralled that I could almost hear Johnston calling "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" over the radio years later.
My wife (also a geologist) and I visited Mt St Helens National Volcanic Monument on our honeymoon camping trip.
Raise yr hand if you were around for the Big Bang 43 years ago. #pdx #mtsthelens

Since today is the Mt. St. Helens eruption anniversary, hereβs an early digital panorama of mine from my 2003 visit. Maybe I should go look at reprocessing it again? #photography #landscapephotography #mtsthelens #MountSaintHelens https://flic.kr/p/835Xj8

Today is the 43rd anniversary of the #MountSaintHelens eruption on May 17, 1980.
This eruption was both geologically fascinating and also monumentally deadly, killing 57 people.
I wanted to share one of my favorite sets of photos from the eruption, which really conveys the stunning reality of what had just happened.

Got up early to go fishing on the Willamette. The sun was about to rise behind Mt. St. Helens. Beautiful day!

It is gorgeous out here today! High 60βs, sunny, light breeze! We took the Hummocks Trail to the Boundary Trail. Mt. St. Helens is covered in snow, itβll be a heck of a melt. #mtsthelens #mountain #volcano #nature #naturephotography #outdoors #trail #hike #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washington
