Summer has finally arrived, so I took advantage of the warmth and sunshine by driving down to Mount St. Helens over the weekend. It had been a while since I'd viewed the mountain from Johnston Ridge, and in that time the dome had changed quite a bit. Sporadic earthquakes and slowly rising magma under the mountain had created some new features... Most spectacular is the "humpback" part of the dome, which from afar looks like a smoking chimney. And the canyon just below the lip of the lower portion of the dome was also putting out a good amount of steam and gasses. It's a wonderful thing when our news organization can bring coverage of whatever happens at Mount St. Helens. It's even more wonderful when you can observe it in person. I also noted a wide array of languages being spoken at both centers. People from all over the world have decided to see for themselves the mountain that created such a stir when it exploded 25 years ago. If you haven't visited Mount St. Helens, or Mount Rainier, or any of the other spectacular works of nature in western Washington, maybe you should. After all, it's right in our own backyard. And aren't we lucky?! 3 Comments |
