Mysteries & Mayhem, Part II | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Looking down upon the Floating Island Lava Flow. When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, it sent a devastating lahar or mudflow down the North Fork Toutle River, completely altering the river's course.
In this aerial view, the landscape is still steaming more than 1 year after the initial eruption. Photo taken on August 9, 1981. Scanned from 35mm photo.

Voted 10/10 | Larry, thanks so much for posting your historic pix. There must be literally millions of photos of pre-eruption and early post-eruption St. Helens out there, and if we could capture even a tiny fraction of them here at SP, it could be almost like a museum. Keep 'em comin'! -Bob | | Posted Dec 11, 2007 9:01 pm |
