A static image (updated every five minutes) of Mount St. Helens, Washington USA, taken from the Johnston Ridge Observatory. The summit of Mount St. Helens is at an elevation of 2,549 Meters (8,364 feet), at 46.20 N, 122.18 W. The summit stood at 9,677 feet before the May 18, 1980, eruption. The Observatory and VolcanoCam are located at an elevation of approximately 4,500 feet, about five miles from the volcano. You are looking approximately south-southeast across the North Fork Toutle River Valley. The Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam is brought to you by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Vancouver, Washington, and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, Amboy, Washington USA. Mount Saint Helen has been erupting steam over the past few weeks, and while scientists can’t predict exactly what will happen, they don’t think there will be an eruption and ash expulsion like there was in the 1980’s. They expect small steam and ash eruption to occur over the next few weeks or months.

The image to the right is the webcam pointed at Mt Saint Helens. It’s a delayed feed from the USDA park services division, so if it’s broken or fuzzy, hey it’s not my fault. You can click on the image to enlarge it.

When the Park Service post the links to archive footage I’ll post the links.
