Mount St. Helens Shoots Steam, Ash

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-red-hot-magma-just-yet dept.

Wynken de Word writes "Months after the preliminary signs starting showing, Washington State's Mount St. Helens is sending a plume of steam and ash 7,600 metres into the air as of Tuesday, 17:25 PST. See the U.S. Geological Survey site for more updates and, come daylight, check out the Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam."

  1. Did we actually LEARN anything? by SamMichaels · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This happened before...quite recently in the grand scheme of things. Lives were lost, lives were ruined, towns destroyed. There's a small vial of dust sitting on a shelf in my parents' house.

    I'd be interested in hearing about the new technology since then as well as what they plan to do. Detailed info seems scarce on the geological site.
