Two hundred and thirty square miles leveled in moments…Five
hundred and forty million tons of ash and volcanic rock
exploded twelve miles high…One cubic mile of earth
blasted from the crest of one of the world’s most
beautiful snowcapped domes.
Captured
in rare and spectacular aerial photography and in the
survivors own words and pictures: witness the terrifying
fury of the worst volcanic disaster in American history.
Then,
behold the miraculous natural recovery of the land and
the new and awesome beauty of the volcano today—nearly
two decades since its devastating eruption. Guided by
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument geologists,
learn the prehistoric secrets of the mountain. Now you
can decide which is the most awe-inspiring story the
mountain has to tell; its cataclysmic eruption or its
incredible rebirth.
