May 18, 1980, 8:32 A.M.:
An earthquake suddenly triggered an avalanche on Mount St.
Helens, a volcano in southern Washington State. Minutes later,
Mount St. Helens blew the top off its peak and exploded into the
most devastating volcanic eruption in U.S. history.
What caused the eruption? What was left when it ended? What did
scientists learn in its aftermath?
In this extraordinary photographic essay, Patricia Lauber details
the Mount St. Helens eruption and the years following. Through this
clear accurate account, readers of all ages will share the awe of
the scientists who witnessed both the power of the volcano and the
resiliency of life.
