Mount St. Helens has occupied a strange corner of my mind ever since the eruption of 1980, and my family's later visit to the area on a driving trip down the west coast, where I acquired a little baggie of 'official' Helens' ash and a t-shirt with burn holes all through it that read, "I Survived Mount St. Helens". So the recent rumblings to life the volcano has been exhibiting are of interest. Yesterday, there was another 'event' that has been well-covered by the blogging community - but no one can compete with the folks at the Mt. St Helens Observatory (operated by the USGS) who had placed robotic cameras on the volcano - some of which caught the eruption as it occurred. Nothing really significant, it was mostly steam and a bit of ash - but there's a good bunch of pics at their site. Check it out. Eurphorchrome has a good shot of the eruption at his photoblog.
