Description

No, not kidding - there really is a large volcano in those clouds.

This pan is taken from the Johnson Ridge Observatory, which sits in part of the area devastated by the 1980 eruption of St. Helens: trees in this area were snapped in half by the landslide/lateral blast, and later covered by a pyroclastic flow. A visitor's center (and a nice one at that) sits on the ridge now.

The visitor's center is about 10 miles from the center of the crater left by the eruption.

The pan gets darker to the right if only because the weather was drizzly when I started and raining sideways when I finished. But I couldn't leave MSH without a pan!
