VolcanoCam Back On The Air

Cyberherbalist writes "Over a year after the camera went on the fritz, the Mount Saint Helens VolcanoCam is finally back on the air. It's just in time to catch the famous firework as its earthquake level rises dramatically. All MSH climbing permits have been cancelled due to the danger of rocks and such flying from the lava dome inside the crater. If the weather holds, you may get some good views if the volcano continues ramping up its activity."

Click on one of the bloody links and you might find out. It's in the US, in Washington state.

You might or might not remember that in 1980 it blew up and killed 67 people, destroyed a couple hundred square miles of forest, and in general caused quite a fuss. It was one of the most destructive volcanic events ever recorded in recent history, so naturally everybody's forgotten about it in favor of tripe like jpegs that capture your computer or some such rot.
