I have seen a big jump in traffic for this blog due to the recent “activity” at Mt. St. Helens. Over the summer, I took my family on a trip to the mountain and toured the eruption site. It was a great experience and you can read about it and view some pictures here.
Meanwhile I thought I would post some links to Mt. St. Helens web sites of interest:
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
Mount St. Helens Johnston Ridge Observatory VolcanoCam
Mount St. Helens Seismicity Information
The latest news clip from discoverychannel.com:
Sept. 29, 2004 — Mount St. Helens, a volcano that devastated swathes of the Northwest when it erupted 24 years ago, has rumbled back to life, raising fears of a fresh explosion, seismologists said Monday.
Experts believe that a sudden and potentially dangerous event could be on the way after a wave of nearly 100 small earthquakes began hitting the area in the states of Washington and Oregon in recent days.
I plan on daily updates while this activity is taking place. Tune in.
