In 1980 Mt. St. Helens blew its top. Forty years later it's still recovering. And it's still an active volcano.

There was a haze or something over Mt. St. Helens when I took this, and I’m not sure exactly if the haze in this photo is from the visible haze or indicates heat. Because of the 830nm filter none of what it pictured above is in visible light. The caldera is obvious as is the dome if you know where to look.

Mt. St. Helens looking somewhat less threatening than in my previous photo taken in infrared light.

I managed to drop my Sony ILCEO ⍺6500 shortly after I took this photo. Fortunately it still works if a bit scratched on one corner.

The Observatory looks like a citadel fortified against invading hordes. If Mt. St. Helens blows again, I don't think it will withstand the blast.

Of all the photos I took during the trip to Mt. St. Helens this is the one that gives the best sense of the space, of the vastness of the terrain.
