The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, a stratovolcano located in Washington state, in the United States, was a major volcanic eruption. The eruption (which was a VEI 5 event) was the only significant one to occur in the contiguous 48 US states since the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California

KXLY920's Mike Fitzsimmons remembers being live on the air on May 18, 1980 and covering the devastation left behind by the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. KXLY4's Sally Showman reports.
Thirty years ago, on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens roared back into major activity with a massive eruption that leveled surrounding forest, blasted away over a thousand feet of the mountain's summit, and claimed 57 human lives. This short video shows the catastrophic eruption - and the amazing recovery of the surrounding ecosystem - through the eyes of the Landsat satellites, which have been imaging our planet for almost forty years.

On Tuesday, May 4 at 8PM ET/PT NOVA presents a pioneering look at the interplay between biology and geology that may help scientists predict future volcanic eruptions.

In 1984, four years after the eruption, a forest service road leading to a vista two miles from the still steaming caldera, was open to the public. I took these pictures from two spots on that road. The debris covering Spirit Lake is actually made up of tree trunks that were striped bare by the blast and blown into the lake. The white dome in the distance, above a couple of pictures of Spirit Lake, is the top of Mt. Rainier, another active volcano with two calderas.

This ASTER image of Mt. St. Helens volcano in Washington was acquired on August 8, 2000 and covers an area of 37 by 51 km. More ASTER Images www.satimagingcorp.com - Mount Saint Helens, a volcano in the Cascade Range of southwestern Washington that had been dormant since 1857, began to show signs of renewed activity in early 1980. On 18 May 1980, it erupted with such violence that the top of the mountain was blown off, spewing a cloud of ash and gases that rose to an altitude of 19 kilometers. The blast killed about 60 people and destroyed all life in an area of some 180 square kilometers (some 70 square miles), while a much larger area was covered with ash and debris. It continues to spit forth ash and steam intermittently. As a result of the eruption, the mountain's elevation decreased from 2950 meters to 2549 meters. The image is centered at 46.2 degrees north latitude, 122.2 degrees west longitude. Image Credit NASA/GSFC/METI/ERSDAC/JAROS, and US/Japan ASTER Science Team
May 18th 1980, Sunday morning in Portland Oregon I was driving a delivery truck when Mount Saint Helens blew. It took me 27 years to return to the mountain. Here is a short video for those of you who didn't witness the explosion (Turn up the volume).
If you endure the bad roads 'around the back' of Mount St Helens you will get an excellent view of the devastated forest. Near the mountain you find all the trees are ripped off at the stump. As you get further away you find the tree are uprooted. Yet further away you find standing trees but stripped of branches, and after the dead trees you get to the old forest that once covered the region. Sunday 10th Aug 2009 Up early and onto Portland. The original plan was to get sunrise over the Columbia, but as it was completely overcast, I slept in and later too a leasurly drive to Portland, then decided to cut up the back of Mnt St Helens. Stopped in visitors center populated by old women who had some interesting tales of before the eruption, and they also had maps to go with it! Headed up to ape caves which had been mentioned more than once on the channel (in the visitors center I had picked up some details about a magnificent lava tube). Got there about midday (gps was having issues with all the tall trees).. road was very windy in the trees. Went on a short tour but it was largely facile. You get two choices down hill and return (easy) or uphill, which was meant to be more entertaining and it was. The cave is MUCH bigger in places than lava river cave. You also have to do some significant boulder scrambling. In the complete dark with the modest light thrown out by half a dozen LEDs thats quite exciting. There is also some modest technical climbing to get up a 8ft lava fall ...

News story about the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State, including original footage shot by Dave Crockett on the mountain, as he tries to escape from the eruption in progress. I remember being shown the original footage in grade school, in the mid-eighties in Portland, OR, not far from St. Helens. The version I remember was unedited, with fire in the sky. He started out filming from his car, but was hit by a small mudslide and continued on foot. I remember him running in the dark, panting in the ash, and saying over and over "This is hell on earth, this is hell on earth." He made it out safely.

In March 1980 magma underneath Mt. St. Helens began pushing toward the surface. This initially caused earthquakes and phreatic eruptions (groundwater turning into steam as the surrounding rocks are themselves heated by the new magma). Over the course of a few months St. Helens' north flank also bulged considerably.
