Mount St Helens Volcanic Pins and Buttons

As 1979 came to a closed, nobody had any idea that come May of the following year, Mount St. Helens would erupt with such violence that the top of the mountain locals have seen in the sky for generations would soon be more than 1,000' shorter. On May 18, 1980, the deadliest and most violent volcanic event in U.S. history would lay an unreal path of destruction. Fifty-seven people were killed; 200 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles of railways, and 185 miles of highway were destroyed. A massive debris avalanche, triggered by an earthquake of magnitude 5.1, caused a lateral eruption that reduced the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 ft to 8,363 ft, leaving a 1-mile wide horseshoe-shaped crater.

Mount Saint Helens in Washington State

Mount St Helens erupting. Mount St Helens underwent one of the largest eruptions in the USA on 18th May 1980. This devastating eruption destroyed the summit (peak) of the volcano, leaving a large caldera (crater). The lahars (volcanic mud flows) covered distances of nearly 30 kilometres at speeds of several kilometres per hour and flowed down valleys in the surrounding area, demolishing trees, bridges and houses, and then solidifying like concrete. They consisted of material from the collapse of the northern flank of the volcano, mixed with glacier ice, snow and meltwater from the eruption.
