		Mount St. Helens is a volcano in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
		The removal of the north side of the mountain reduced St. Helens' height by about 1300 feet (400 m) and left a 1 to 2 mile (1.6 to 3.2 km) wide and 0.5 mile (800 m) deep crater with its north end open in a huge breach.
		Mount St. Helens experienced another steam release the next day, and government seismologists raised the "alert level" to the third of three levels, indicating a potential threat to life and property.
