On May 18, 1980, a violent eruption blew the top off Mount St. Helens. A landslide covered 24 square miles around, clouds of ash blew up fifteen miles in the air, hot pumice poured down the volcano, heat from the volcano melted snow, causing huge mud flows that roared down the valley. Instead of a snow-covered peak, it was now a crater two miles long and 2,000 ft deep, and the mountain was a lot shorter. Travel to Mount St. Helens where kids can see the results of a recent and very active volcano. |
