Mount St.Helens, Washington

The eruption, on May 18th.1980, blew the north side out of the volcano's crater in the largest debris avalanche in known history. The magma then flattened 600 square kilometres — destroying trees, 200 buildings, 57 humans, 7,000 large animals and 12 million fish.

It is alive and is being "recharged" with magma. Over 130 earthquakes occurred underneath Mt.St.Helens in the eight weeks from March 2016. Too weak to be felt by humans, the largest was 1.6 on the Richter scale.

Never trust them, and like the sea, never turn your back on one.
