@BudgieFace1 - I never say never. I did not expect Mount St Helens to become active again in 2004. If past behavior is any sort of guide for future performances, I would expect continued dome building eruptions for the next century. The chances of another VEI-5 or greater eruption within the next century, I put at 5 percent. The eruption of 1479 (VEI-6) and 1482 (VEI-5) shows that Mount St Helens is more than capable to quickly recharge her magma chamber. Thank you for watching.
@Swampertchamp - I had to pull due to a DMCA challenge. The video was being blocked as a result. Do you have a recommendation to replace the old song?
@Swampertchamp - It has. Activity at Mount St Helens came to a stop in late January 2008 and has been relatively quiet since then. Please watch The Eruption of Mount St Helens August 2008 update for more information (the music is much better too). Thanks for watching.
@lawilson200 Thank god for the mute button. It would be rather difficult to select a good piece for a video like this. You could always go with a soundtrack from a 1970s animal documentary. Lol.
if the SUPER VOLCANO IN YELLOW STONE PARK could talk..HEY MT st Helens think you have power i'm 3000 times bigger ,HERE have a ice age,plus in going to kill half the people and half the earth ...HAVE A NICE DAY
@phanthom091 - Again thanks for watching. In 2007, when this video was made, it would have taken about 200 years for the former summit to be restored.
In 1980, over 1,3 billion cubic meters of the mountain was lost due to the landslide and lateral blast. The 1980-1986 eruption restored about 97 million cubic meters. The 2004-2008 lava dome restored another 150 million cubic meters. So we still have a long ways to go.
However, the entire ediface is only 4,000 years old.
@Xidnayr - To copy videos from You Tube and other video websites, I use Real Player. However, the original videos used for this presentation was made available last year from the US Geological Survey, Professional Paper 1750. Thank you for watching.
@chernobylFarms - It is due to the subduction of the Juan De Fuca Plate by the North American Plate which is the reason we have volcanoes in the Cascades. However, volcanic activity here in the PNW dates to the late Eocene to Early Oligocene. The original Cascades began as volcanic islands along the Farollon Plate that eventually became attached through accretion. Other activity is through back arch swelling and hotspot activity.
30 years today. Thank you for taking the time to post videos that are informative and interesting. I didn't know that eruptions continued. In the age of a mountain it is infinitesimal, but I am amazed at the dramatic amount of change we had the opportunity to see. I hope the environmental audit is over soon so that we can see more.
@FMnStuff Again thank you. It was raining at the mountain today, so you could not see inside the crater, but the 30th Anniversary event at JRO was fun.

I remember this form science channel years ago i was amazed it rewaken form its long sleep i thought it was a dead volcanic after the first blast in 1980.
@fredmus - I thank you for your input, but i am not sure how your comments can be considered as constructive inputs.
I do believe it is important to excercise some media savy and recognize that not everything broadcast on TV and Hollywood is true or accurate.

Rather than depend on profit making entities whose only interest is making a buck, I encourage you to learn the actual science.
carefull if u live in USA so soon if u just hear it going to erupt THEN RUN!!!!!!!! take a plane go to Euro maybe Finland Denmark Sweden or Norway that is very fare away
u know if hole yellowstone blow and if u live in usa and are just 1 min tolate your death many says it would happend in 2012 other's says it will happend very soon because from 300 earthquakes to 500 earthquakes. there was 300 earthquakes in 2008 and 500 earthquakes in 2009 and it's almost reach 400 earthquakes in 2010 so i wonder it soon will blow because all are ready for it because all know that there are lava under that volcano there is ready to go and that's also with Mount St Helens so be
well done.. it's just the kind of info i was looking for....great music choice too...
do you know anything about current trends with volcanoes...like, since our weather is getting more severe ...are we getting more volcano erruptions, earthquakes, etc.... like the one that just errupted in iceland?....and what do you think about yellowstone...they are seeing a lot of earthquakes, rising of the land etc... do you think it'll go sometime soon?....
Well thank you for watching. To answer your question, there is no correlation to the volume of volcanic activity with other events like storms along the East Coast of the US and Europe, or earthquake activity in Haiti or Chile.
Volcanoes are great gas producers and can effect the climate (positively or negatively) by the volume of gases released. So they can contribute to climate change.
The Iceland eruption is fascinating and Yellowstone will not erupt anytime soon. Thanks.
Very interesting video. Brings back lots of memories. We lived in Mossyrock, WA when it erupted May 18, 1980. Day turned to night so fast (or at least thats what it felt like). We moved a year later from there, and in 2004 I was out there once again on a visit, and drove up to the visitors center and Helens was blowing some that day. It was surreal once again. I often wonder if Rainier will erupt any time soon.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was in Victoria on a high school marching band trip that day, so I got to miss out most of the fun. I heard the boom though.
Personally. I would like to see Hood erupt next. Glacier Peak also has been quiet for a very long time. She is also capable of making a big punch.
I really need to get off my duff and make some new videos for the 30th anniversary, but work is keeping me very, very busy.
Mount St Helens is your standard run of the mile stratovolcano. Her largest known eruption occurred in 1480, measuing a VEI-6 (Almost the size of Pinatubo if you want a modern analogy).
The largest known eruption from a Cascade volcano was 7,700 years ago at Mount Mazama. That event was a VEI-7, leaving a caldera we call Crater Lake today.
Yellowstone had two VEI-8 and one VEI-7 eruption over the last 2.1 Ma. But, Yellowstone also had 90 known smaller eruptions since Mesa Falls.
Thank you for responding back. No, I am not a volcanologist. Instead, I am an overly obsessed fan of all things related to volcanism.
You asked an interesting question. Toba in Indonesia was actually larger than Huckleberry Ridge. La Garita in Colorado is perhaps the largest known.
I have read a few studies on La Garita, but I am afraid I have never visited that part of Colorado. Perhaps the next time I head to the four corners area, I will include it on the list of places to visit.
This video was intended to report the activity at Mount St Helens in 2007. I am afraid it is not a forum to debate YEC nonsense. I do have a video on YEC claims involving Mount St Helens, which you are free comment there. If you have a question about MSH or volcanoes in general, I would be happy to comment on it.
Pdrum2 was probably told an inaccurate and outdated version of uniformitarianism which relied on strict gradualism. This is unfortunate because mountain building is largely related to plate tectonics, although the processes for the Rockies is different than the processes affecting the Cascades.
Geology is really quite fascinating and I hope Pdram2 will look beyond YEC propaganda to discover this.
As well as plates pushing up mountain ranges, one HAS to think about how the layers of solid rock were laid down in the first place. What about Pangea? The world has been changing below our feet for a long freakin time. Pdrum2, LOOK at South America and Africa, looks like they were buddies one time loooong ago. Geology is amazing! Not to mention, look up in the night sky. Look far past the stars, how does one begin to explain that logically? Is there an end to the darkness? Are we alone? hah!
That there is the science of Volcanos... It is the life cycle. I learned that in 6th grade. Lava builds up which produces gases. At that time its like a Dr Pepper bottle enclosed by a cap. The gas provided the inital explosion. After that comes the lava because it is free to move. It builds itself up again so as to put the cap on the bottle again. After a long wait the gases start to build back up. In turn creating another explosion. Just to have the lava run out again and cap it again.
Thanks for commenting, but I did add an annotation saying the mining issue was over.
The BLM denied the mining permit to the company seeking to open up a copper mine about 10 miles to the north of Mount St Helens. And the mining company decided abandon the issue.
However, the area is still vulnerable to future mining. The proposed area was only 1 mile outside the boundries of MSHNVM and there is little to stop a company from seeking a permit in the future.
Oops! My bad. I didn't see the update. I'm glad they were denied the mining rights. Though I still question the mental state of anyone who would want to dig in an area near an active volcano. Might as well go up to the lava dome and start pit mining for gold...
As of October 22, 2009, conditions at Mount St Helens have remained quiet, I have checked the CVO and PNSN websites and found no unusual activity at the mountain. The current color code for Mount St Helens and all Cascade Mountains is Green.
The eruption of Mount St Helens came to a quiet end sometime in January 2008 and the mountain has remained reletively quiet since.
Given her past history, MSH will erupt again. Possibly in the next decade or two.
it'll acctualy be Yellowstone national park that will blow...it's a super volcano that'll erupt and make a super eruption wich will cover the sky and the ash will spread to as far as Quebec, Canada mabey a bit farther and a super volcano is a VEI-8 volcano wich is bad so please ask your teacher about yellowstone national park and get the movie it'll show you what i'm talking about and the catistrotic damages it will make globaly.
Yes indeed, Yellowstone is capable of producing a very powerful eruption. Over the past 0.6 ma, Yellowstone has erupted over 60 times, producing a variaty of volcanic products, from basic basalt to obsedian. To better understand Yellowstone and the hotspot, I recommend downloading Professional Paper 1717 (2008) from the USGS and leave the movies to Hollywood. I also recommend reading USGS Professional Paper 729-G (2001).
For persons interested with Yellowstone, I recommend reading USGS Open File Report 2007-1071. This is the YVO hazard assessment report for Yellowstone. It is a good read on what we might expect from a Yellowstone eruption.
All of the USGS publications I have mentioned can be downloaded from free from the USGS Publication Werehouse Website.
I am from South East Idaho... its 11 hrs to MSH drive. aprox. 900 miles. When it erupted in 1980 i wasnt born. But the Ash alone from MSH traveled 900 miles to hit SE Idaho. If Yellowstone is really a super volcano it will travel much further then 900 miles. Maybe covering half of the world with ash. And the effects will be deadly to the human race as we know it...
I have relatives living in SE Idaho and I have visited Yellowstone many times.
The National Park has a very fascinating visitor center at Canyon Village dedicated to explaining volcanoes and Yellowstone.
One of my favorite displays is a comparison between the three Yellowstone eruptons and Mount St Helens. It really made me realize how insignifigant MSH is compared to Yellowstone.
If you haven't visited it yet, I hope you will sometime.
Im not sure about that i have been there a few times but i dont remember going to that part maybe just drove through. But i wanted to ask you if you have ever been to Quake lake on the outskirts of Yellowstone in Montana between Yellowstone city and Big Sky. As i remember it was caused by a Volcanic erpution and caused the side of the mountain to fall apart. As a result of the eruption came an earthquake quite a few people did there as well...
Interesting that you ask about Quake Lake. When I was a kid living in Bozeman, Montana, my father would regularly take the family to Quake Lake. It was where I first became interested in geology.
The Hebqen Lake earthquake occurred on August 17, 1959 at 11:28 PM measuring 7.5. and killing 28 people (most from a landslide). It was the largest recorded quake in the Rockies.
The Madison and Gallatin Range is in an area known as the Basin and Range Province...(To Be Continued)
The Basin and Range covers a large area of the West and composed of fault block mountains, The quake was associated to the normal tectonic uplift/downslide common in the Basin and Range area. There was a similiar quake at Idaho's Mount Boah in 1985.
The landslide was triggered by weak metamorphic rock, which was pushed out during the quake. It blocked the Madison River and ran up 400 feet on the other side, burying a campground filled with campers.
I was 6 years old when I first visited the area and now I am quite a bit older. The last time I visited Quake Lake was last September.
Time has erased some of the wounds, but the area never ceases to amaze me.
During my last visit, I spent the night at Cedar Creek Campground, which is still notable for its 21 foot fault scarp that tore the campground into two. Next to the landslide, the fault scarp is still one of the best remains from that quake.
Historically, Rainier eruptions tend to be small. No more than VEI-4. It's the ice on Rainier that has everyone worried. The largest known lahar at Rainier occurred about 5,500 years ago and it was not associated to any volcanic event. if the ice melts rapidly, there will be problems.
It is a good thing I don't live near any of Rainiers watersheds.
Hi and thanks for watching. The best online source for MSH photographs is found on the Cascade Volcano Observatory and USGS Photo Archive websites. The photos showing the start of the eruption and landslide are copyrighted and I have not generally found them online. However, if you down load USGS Professional Paper 1250 at the USGS website, you will find most of the photos of the start of the eruption.
my name is Helena & I run a Wicked Game on my channel ;) pop in if you're curious & have fun.. I'd score it as a wicked 2009 eruption of Mt. St. Helena's :)
loved every second if it.. kinda parallel to my own 'crazy' life-path.. really, you've created a great video.. the mighty Mt. St. Helens; hope she behaves well the coming decades.. females hehe.. lol.. see ya around.. Huascaran, Azores.. heaps of amazing Mother Earth wildest destinations.. p.s. mu Dad is a geologist ;)
This is an interesting question. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any MSH movie on line. I have seen snippets of Message from the Mountain, a documentary shown at the Johnston Ridge Observatory Visitor Center from a couple of You Tube Accounts.
The USGS makes some of their videos available through their Publishing Warehouse. Use Mount St Helens in the search engine.
Beyond that, it is a slow hunt through You Tube Videos. Use Mount St Helens Eruption for your search terms.
This is an awesome video. I have thought very hard about being a Vulcanologist. This makes me even more curious! I live relatively close to the Mt. and I drive there often. Thank you for posting this. I saw the Mt. erupt first hand starting from Sept. 23rd (my b-day) through Oct. It was amazing.
I was only able to witness the March 8, 2005 eruption, but in 1980 I was able to witness the July 22 and the August 7 eruptions. Neither were as big as the May 18, 1980 eruption (I was in Canada when the event occurred), but the were fascinating to watch. It was enough to lead me to enter into geology.
dude i dont know this sorryy im not a geogerapher. all i said in the message i possted that i did not know that, it eruppted again. we dont get that news here.
Nice video 5+. Mt. St. Helens is one of my favorite trips, I take my family there at least once a year. Until they closed the Coldwater observatory we were going there twice a year in summer and in the winter to watch the lava dome grow.
Thank you. Even though Coldwater is now closed, I still try to make a winter trip or two. Even though MSH is no longer active, it is still a great place for photography.
did i see that people are thinking about mining mount st helens's????? wow ! wot idiots, let them do it ! go on !... i'm in England, and i love to see crazy people abroad with their greedy ideas :-)
i think the ocean is the world fridge. if the ocean gets to hot i think volcanos would erupt more frequently and in bigger volume.. the world is heating up and i think a massive eruption is way over due. 1 volcano has the ability to block the sun for many years consequently ending life on this plant
i remember being in portland a few years ago with the waking mountain, driving to work on a crystal clear day with mt. hood to my right and sweet helen straight ahead...i miss those beasts
Wonderfully assembled and very thought provoking. We mere humans have yet to witness the full fury of volcanic activity, and we can only marvel that life has survived the millenia.
Yellowstone is a pretty fascinating place, which I would recommend anyone to visit.
The magma chamber feeding the gyesers of Yellowstone is located about 5 miles below the surface and covers an area of about 50 miles (northeast and southwest) by 30 miles wide.
There has been 3 known super-eruptions over the past 2 my, but there were also 80 small eruptions over the past 610,000 years. But, when it erupts next, it will likely be a big one.
Ive heard Yellowstone was the biggest volcano ever or just in America I dont remember.
And ive also heard that when it erupts the ash will cover the entire USA.
What I am really waiting on is for Mr. Rainier to blow his top. TMt. Rainier is past due for an eruption meaning that eruption could/will be a big one.
Thanks for the video and living only a few hours away from this mountain, I have seen somethings close up I have never seen before.
The Huckleberry Ridge eruption produced 2,500 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash, but this is not the largest known eruption. The Lake Toba, Indonesia eruption of about 76,000 years ago produced 2,800 cubic KM of ash. However, there is a caldera found in Colorado which erupted over 50 mya ago, which was beleived to be larger than Yellowstone and Toba.
Rainier eruptions tend to be VEI 3 and 4. The real danger is the ice field and the rock conditions on the west.
Mount Lassen in 1914-18 that's a great place to hike. Been up there, in fact was up there the day Steve Fossett crashed his plane near Mammoth Mt. which is another volcano waiting to erase humans.
Yes indeed! Lassen is a wonderful area. I had the pleasure of visiting Lassen for the first time last September. I thought about climbing Lassen, but it was too late in the day to complete the climb safely.
There are two eruptions that meet your question. The first is the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens which leveled 4.1 billion board feet of timber, over a 150 square mile area.
The second is the 1955 eruption of Bezzimiany in Russia,
Kool!!My science teacher told me to look up this since we were learning about volcamnoes and everything!!Amnd he said that mt. st. Helen was a nasty earthquake and he said that some of the ash landed in Calgary!!!
Well thank you. I am glad your teacher is teaching you about volcanoes.
It was 5.1 magnitude earthquake which triggered the landslide that triggered the eruption on May 18, 1980. You should also know when you have lots of earthquakes underneath a volcano, it is a good indicator that magma is on the move.
Did ash fall in Calgary? I have not heard that before. I knew the ash covered Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, but I did not know it reached Alberta. Thank you for the information.
I saw one news item today on Rainier. They installed a $70,000 toilet at a campground. According to the news, it is the first "bio-tiolet" that was a gift from a Japanese Company. Now you can poop without harming the environment. It also comes with heated seats.
I may need to make a special trip to Rainier just to take a dump.
The Swedes make something just as good, you don't have to wait that long to go, LOL. Some say Rainier will go off between 2012 and 2020.. gives us about 4 years head time, huh? (Er, couldn't resist the pun.) Still, this is a beautiful video of a frightening event!
Well I wouldn't count on Rainier erupting during that time(although there is nothing that says she wont either).
Rainier historically has produced small eruptions (VEI 3 and 4), but the real danger is the massive amount of snow and ice on the edifice. One pyroclastic flow and there will be a massive mudflow (the largest known occurred about 6,000 years ago and it wasn't related to an eruption).
Hopefully she will be quiet so I can use that new crapper up there :-).
mining wont effect a volcano erupting. infact, mining weakens the mountain's structure. eruptions happen when magma get put enough pressure till something gives way.
There isn't going to be mining at Mount St Helens, because the BLM denied General Moly Inc their permit application to open up the Goat Rock Mountain area (1 mile outside the boundary of the MSHNVM) for mining last April (I keep reminding myself to put together an updated video).
However, mining would not prevent an eruption from occuring in the future.
i hate that mountain of death. i wish science can beat mother nature 1 day! i hope we can demolish it. it's active again, and it will erupt in our life time :(
I am sorry that you feel that way. Mount St Helens is really a quite lovely area and well worth exploring. I hope someday you would change your mind and come here for a visit.
In 2004 when it was all over the news I happened to go to Mt. Spokane and I could see the smoke from Mt St Helens. I was shocked I could see it from here. Makes me wonder what it would be like watching Mt St Helens from Mt Spokane in 1980!
In 180 yrs,none of us will be alive long enought to see it erupt again,I know that I won't be,for sure!

do you know anything about current trends with volcanoes...like, since our weather is getting more severe ...are we getting more volcano erruptions, earthquakes, etc.... like the one that just errupted in iceland?....and what do you think about yellowstone...they are seeing a lot of earthquakes, rising of the land etc... do you think it'll go sometime soon?....
thanks for sharing :)

Well thank you for watching. To answer your question, there is no correlation to the volume of volcanic activity with other events like storms along the East Coast of the US and Europe, or earthquake activity in Haiti or Chile.
Volcanoes are great gas producers and can effect the climate (positively or negatively) by the volume of gases released. So they can contribute to climate change.
The Iceland eruption is fascinating and Yellowstone will not erupt anytime soon. Thanks.

Very interesting video. Brings back lots of memories. We lived in Mossyrock, WA when it erupted May 18, 1980. Day turned to night so fast (or at least thats what it felt like). We moved a year later from there, and in 2004 I was out there once again on a visit, and drove up to the visitors center and Helens was blowing some that day. It was surreal once again. I often wonder if Rainier will erupt any time soon.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was in Victoria on a high school marching band trip that day, so I got to miss out most of the fun. I heard the boom though.
Personally. I would like to see Hood erupt next. Glacier Peak also has been quiet for a very long time. She is also capable of making a big punch.
I really need to get off my duff and make some new videos for the 30th anniversary, but work is keeping me very, very busy.

building up to something big, jsut hope a super volcano like yellowstone doesnt go first.

Mount St Helens is your standard run of the mile stratovolcano. Her largest known eruption occurred in 1480, measuing a VEI-6 (Almost the size of Pinatubo if you want a modern analogy).
The largest known eruption from a Cascade volcano was 7,700 years ago at Mount Mazama. That event was a VEI-7, leaving a caldera we call Crater Lake today.
Yellowstone had two VEI-8 and one VEI-7 eruption over the last 2.1 Ma. But, Yellowstone also had 90 known smaller eruptions since Mesa Falls.

i know yelowstone is a super volcano, but i also know its not the largest, do you know what is, and where it is?
benjokazooie 1 year ago
Thank you for responding back. No, I am not a volcanologist. Instead, I am an overly obsessed fan of all things related to volcanism.
You asked an interesting question. Toba in Indonesia was actually larger than Huckleberry Ridge. La Garita in Colorado is perhaps the largest known.
I have read a few studies on La Garita, but I am afraid I have never visited that part of Colorado. Perhaps the next time I head to the four corners area, I will include it on the list of places to visit.

Thank you fetymann for your input.
Pdrum2 was probably told an inaccurate and outdated version of uniformitarianism which relied on strict gradualism. This is unfortunate because mountain building is largely related to plate tectonics, although the processes for the Rockies is different than the processes affecting the Cascades.
Geology is really quite fascinating and I hope Pdram2 will look beyond YEC propaganda to discover this.
lawilson200 2 years ago
As well as plates pushing up mountain ranges, one HAS to think about how the layers of solid rock were laid down in the first place. What about Pangea? The world has been changing below our feet for a long freakin time. Pdrum2, LOOK at South America and Africa, looks like they were buddies one time loooong ago. Geology is amazing! Not to mention, look up in the night sky. Look far past the stars, how does one begin to explain that logically? Is there an end to the darkness? Are we alone? hah!
fetymann 2 years ago
That there is the science of Volcanos... It is the life cycle. I learned that in 6th grade. Lava builds up which produces gases. At that time its like a Dr Pepper bottle enclosed by a cap. The gas provided the inital explosion. After that comes the lava because it is free to move. It builds itself up again so as to put the cap on the bottle again. After a long wait the gases start to build back up. In turn creating another explosion. Just to have the lava run out again and cap it again.

Mining???!!! Who the hell would want to go digging into the ground near an active volcano?????????
JuustinH 2 years ago
Thanks for commenting, but I did add an annotation saying the mining issue was over.
The BLM denied the mining permit to the company seeking to open up a copper mine about 10 miles to the north of Mount St Helens. And the mining company decided abandon the issue.
However, the area is still vulnerable to future mining. The proposed area was only 1 mile outside the boundries of MSHNVM and there is little to stop a company from seeking a permit in the future.
lawilson200 2 years ago
Oops! My bad. I didn't see the update. I'm glad they were denied the mining rights. Though I still question the mental state of anyone who would want to dig in an area near an active volcano. Might as well go up to the lava dome and start pit mining for gold...

As of October 22, 2009, conditions at Mount St Helens have remained quiet, I have checked the CVO and PNSN websites and found no unusual activity at the mountain. The current color code for Mount St Helens and all Cascade Mountains is Green.
The eruption of Mount St Helens came to a quiet end sometime in January 2008 and the mountain has remained reletively quiet since.
Given her past history, MSH will erupt again. Possibly in the next decade or two.

it'll acctualy be Yellowstone national park that will blow...it's a super volcano that'll erupt and make a super eruption wich will cover the sky and the ash will spread to as far as Quebec, Canada mabey a bit farther and a super volcano is a VEI-8 volcano wich is bad so please ask your teacher about yellowstone national park and get the movie it'll show you what i'm talking about and the catistrotic damages it will make globaly.

Yes indeed, Yellowstone is capable of producing a very powerful eruption. Over the past 0.6 ma, Yellowstone has erupted over 60 times, producing a variaty of volcanic products, from basic basalt to obsedian. To better understand Yellowstone and the hotspot, I recommend downloading Professional Paper 1717 (2008) from the USGS and leave the movies to Hollywood. I also recommend reading USGS Professional Paper 729-G (2001).
Thank you for watching.
lawilson200 2 years ago
I would like to add a post-script.
For persons interested with Yellowstone, I recommend reading USGS Open File Report 2007-1071. This is the YVO hazard assessment report for Yellowstone. It is a good read on what we might expect from a Yellowstone eruption.
All of the USGS publications I have mentioned can be downloaded from free from the USGS Publication Werehouse Website.
lawilson200 2 years ago
I am from South East Idaho... its 11 hrs to MSH drive. aprox. 900 miles. When it erupted in 1980 i wasnt born. But the Ash alone from MSH traveled 900 miles to hit SE Idaho. If Yellowstone is really a super volcano it will travel much further then 900 miles. Maybe covering half of the world with ash. And the effects will be deadly to the human race as we know it...
ctrackmonger 2 years ago
Well thank you for watching.
I have relatives living in SE Idaho and I have visited Yellowstone many times.
The National Park has a very fascinating visitor center at Canyon Village dedicated to explaining volcanoes and Yellowstone.
One of my favorite displays is a comparison between the three Yellowstone eruptons and Mount St Helens. It really made me realize how insignifigant MSH is compared to Yellowstone.
If you haven't visited it yet, I hope you will sometime.
Thanks.
lawilson200 2 years ago
Im not sure about that i have been there a few times but i dont remember going to that part maybe just drove through. But i wanted to ask you if you have ever been to Quake lake on the outskirts of Yellowstone in Montana between Yellowstone city and Big Sky. As i remember it was caused by a Volcanic erpution and caused the side of the mountain to fall apart. As a result of the eruption came an earthquake quite a few people did there as well...
ctrackmonger 2 years ago
Interesting that you ask about Quake Lake. When I was a kid living in Bozeman, Montana, my father would regularly take the family to Quake Lake. It was where I first became interested in geology.
The Hebqen Lake earthquake occurred on August 17, 1959 at 11:28 PM measuring 7.5. and killing 28 people (most from a landslide). It was the largest recorded quake in the Rockies.
The Madison and Gallatin Range is in an area known as the Basin and Range Province...(To Be Continued)
lawilson200 2 years ago
(Cont)
The Basin and Range covers a large area of the West and composed of fault block mountains, The quake was associated to the normal tectonic uplift/downslide common in the Basin and Range area. There was a similiar quake at Idaho's Mount Boah in 1985.
The landslide was triggered by weak metamorphic rock, which was pushed out during the quake. It blocked the Madison River and ran up 400 feet on the other side, burying a campground filled with campers.
lawilson200 2 years ago
I was 6 years old when I first visited the area and now I am quite a bit older. The last time I visited Quake Lake was last September.
Time has erased some of the wounds, but the area never ceases to amaze me.
During my last visit, I spent the night at Cedar Creek Campground, which is still notable for its 21 foot fault scarp that tore the campground into two. Next to the landslide, the fault scarp is still one of the best remains from that quake.

Historically, Rainier eruptions tend to be small. No more than VEI-4. It's the ice on Rainier that has everyone worried. The largest known lahar at Rainier occurred about 5,500 years ago and it was not associated to any volcanic event. if the ice melts rapidly, there will be problems.
It is a good thing I don't live near any of Rainiers watersheds.

Hi and thanks for watching. The best online source for MSH photographs is found on the Cascade Volcano Observatory and USGS Photo Archive websites.

This is an interesting question. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any MSH movie on line. I have seen snippets of Message from the Mountain, a documentary shown at the Johnston Ridge Observatory Visitor Center from a couple of You Tube Accounts.
The USGS makes some of their videos available through their Publishing Warehouse. Use Mount St Helens in the search engine.
Beyond that, it is a slow hunt through You Tube Videos. Use Mount St Helens Eruption for your search terms.

I was only able to witness the March 8, 2005 eruption, but in 1980 I was able to witness the July 22 and the August 7 eruptions. Neither were as big as the May 18, 1980 eruption (I was in Canada when the event occurred), but the were fascinating to watch. It was enough to lead me to enter into geology.

Mount St Helens is dormant again.
The eruption lasted from October 1, 2004 to late January 2008, with over 125 million cubic yards of fresh lava added to the crater.
Considering Mount St Helens history, she will like erupt again in about a decade, but no more than three decades.

wizzboy76 3 years ago
Yellowstone is a pretty fascinating place, which I would recommend anyone to visit.
The magma chamber feeding the gyesers of Yellowstone is located about 5 miles below the surface and covers an area of about 50 miles (northeast and southwest) by 30 miles wide.
There has been 3 known super-eruptions over the past 2 my, but there were also 80 small eruptions over the past 610,000 years. But, when it erupts next, it will likely be a big one.
Thanks for posting.
lawilson200 3 years ago
Ive heard Yellowstone was the biggest volcano ever or just in America I dont remember.
And ive also heard that when it erupts the ash will cover the entire USA.
What I am really waiting on is for Mr. Rainier to blow his top. TMt. Rainier is past due for an eruption meaning that eruption could/will be a big one.
Thanks for the video and living only a few hours away from this mountain, I have seen somethings close up I have never seen before.
Fl4kers 3 years ago
Thanks for posting.
The Huckleberry Ridge eruption produced 2,500 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash, but this is not the largest known eruption. The Lake Toba, Indonesia eruption of about 76,000 years ago produced 2,800 cubic KM of ash. However, there is a caldera found in Colorado which erupted over 50 mya ago, which was beleived to be larger than Yellowstone and Toba.
Rainier eruptions tend to be VEI 3 and 4. The real danger is the ice field and the rock conditions on the west.

Well thank you. I am glad your teacher is teaching you about volcanoes.
It was 5.1 magnitude earthquake which triggered the landslide that triggered the eruption on May 18, 1980. You should also know when you have lots of earthquakes underneath a volcano, it is a good indicator that magma is on the move.
Did ash fall in Calgary? I have not heard that before. I knew the ash covered Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, but I did not know it reached Alberta. Thank you for the information.

mystykit 3 years ago
Well I wouldn't count on Rainier erupting during that time(although there is nothing that says she wont either).
Rainier historically has produced small eruptions (VEI 3 and 4), but the real danger is the massive amount of snow and ice on the edifice. One pyroclastic flow and there will be a massive mudflow (the largest known occurred about 6,000 years ago and it wasn't related to an eruption).
Hopefully she will be quiet so I can use that new crapper up there :-).

There isn't going to be mining at Mount St Helens, because the BLM denied General Moly Inc their permit application to open up the Goat Rock Mountain area (1 mile outside the boundary of the MSHNVM) for mining last April (I keep reminding myself to put together an updated video).
However, mining would not prevent an eruption from occuring in the future.
