Mount St. Helens had major activity again on March 8, 2005 when a 36,000-foot plume of steam and ash emerged, which was visible from Seattle, Washington and rained ash on Yakima, Washington. Mount St. Helens is 34 miles (55 km) almost due west of Mount Adams, which is in the eastern part of the Cascade Range. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mt_St_Helens   (4280 words)

Narrative of Mount Saint Helens Mount St. Helens was even intermittently active between 1832 and 1857, during the early stages of settlement of the area by Easterners. To the experienced observer, the conical shape and composition of rocks on the mountain boldly proclaimed Mount St. Helens' true nature--it was a volcano. One of the Indian names for Mount St. Helens was "fire mountain," and local Indians were reluctant to approach the mountain despite the abundant game in the area. www.cotf.edu /ete/modules/volcanoes/vnarrative1.html   (497 words)

Unpredictable Mount St. Helens - GreatOutdoors.com A national preserve was established--the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument-- and elaborate new visitors centers build at the entrance, and on Coldwater Ridge, at 2,500 feet, deep in the blast zone. In the decades prior to the spring of 1980, Mount St. Helens was perhaps the most obscure of the Cascade volcanoes. Only minor eruptive activity has taken place at St. Helens in the intervening 6 months, although the mountain remains sufficiently unpredictable that the USGS will not allow the reopening of the Johnston Observatory. www.greatoutdoors.com /published/general/news/unpredictablemountsthelens   (1382 words)

Mount St. Helens' Quiet Eruption - New York Times Mount St. Helens, its second dome visible, is being shaken constantly by earthquakes. Many of the scientists now observing Mount St. Helens were there when it erupted in 1980 and continued to observe the mountain as a series of 16 smaller eruptions, some lasting only a few days, continued through 1986. The work at Mount St. Helens in the 1980's had been under a pall of death and devastation; this time, scientists have a rare, close-up view with relatively little danger. www.nytimes.com /2005/11/29/science/29volc.html?ex=1290920400&en=b72cc5f53c3514d7&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss   (681 words)
