Mt. St. Helens 5-23-03 Crater L Shot

This is a view of the crater at Mt. St. Helens from the Johnson Ridge Observatory. The lighting was changing quickly as clouds were zipping by. This is the long shot of the view from the ridge. This shot shows a good close up of the mound growing inside the crater. About a eighteen months after this shot was taken, the growing mound spewed ash and steam. That was the first time it showed activity in about twenty seven years.
