jankees Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 ..to Mount St Helens, in a Mustang! On my way... [img width=1160 height=551]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1274.jpg so many volcanoes in the area, which one is this? Mt Adams I believe? [img width=1160 height=550]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1283.jpg Over Mt St Helens, notice how the crater is not round, but is missing part of the rim? [img width=1160 height=648]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1289.jpg Flying into the opening of the rim, where you can clearly see a new lava dome forming, complete with smoke... [img width=1160 height=624]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1295.jpg over the lava flows, the photoreal textures look great! [img width=1160 height=550]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1297.jpg Mt St Helens did not explode vertically, like most other volcanoes, but the summit slid downhill at the start of the eruption, leading to a sideways explosion, towards the north. That is why part of the rim is missing. [img width=1160 height=579]http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/FX1304.jpg Following the lahar (volcanic mud flow) away from the volcano. From here, you can clearly see the the destruction towards the north(left) is much greater than to the south, due to the sideways explosion... Wonderful scenery, it looks great, even for a rockhound like me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
