Klopt! Die heb ik zelf ook gezien. Er is ook een film gemaakt in 1981 dacht ik over St.Helensquote:Op dinsdag 2 januari 2007 11:44 schreef X. het volgende:

Overigens ging die NG over de ramp en niet echt over de berg zelf, maar het was wel fascinerend om te zienquote:Op dinsdag 2 januari 2007 11:47 schreef Frutsel het volgende:

quote:Earthquake swarm rattles area near Mt St.Helens
MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. – A series of nine small earthquakes shook an area near Mount St. Helens over the weekend.
Seismologists at the University of Washington have been monitoring the quakes.
A 2.6 quake occurred at 2:26 p.m. on Saturday about six miles north of the volcano. Another quake, a 2.5, occurred at 2:44 p.m. in the same area. The depth for both quakes was two miles. Another quake occurred six miles north-northwest at 10:48 p.m. That measured 2.2 and was 2.2 miles deep.
Smaller quakes, ranging from magnitude 1.3 to 2.2, occurred on Sunday.
"It's something we're watching but we're not alarmed," said Bill Steele, Seismology Lab Coordinator for the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network.
Steele said St. Helens while is an active volcano, it's also sitting on an area of tectonic weakness.
"It's kind of an interesting swarm but it's since quieted down," said Steele.

SEATTLE - The Seismology Lab at the University of Washington keeps close tabs on anything that shakes around Mt. St. Helens.
Lately, the area just north of the crater, left over from the explosive 1980 eruption, has been shaking again. It always gets the attention of scientists.
"That is why we keep actually looking at the seismicity so carefully, so we can pick up any sign of unrest," said Silvio De Angelis, a volcano seismologist. He has studied quakes at other volcanoes around the world, as well as in the Cascades.
The current swarm now totals between 30 and 35 quakes over the last few days. Some are so tiny they barely register on seismographs. The biggest came on Sunday the 30th, with a magnitude of 2.6, strong enough to be felt by somebody close by. The quakes are about two miles deep.
The main swarm is happening five miles north of the crater, putting it under Johnston Ridge, site of an observatory where most tourists and visitors can view into the open side of the crater.
Some other small quakes, including a handful today, are happening under the crater itself, but don't concern scientists.
They've seen swarms in this area before.
In September 2004, quakes under the mountain grew from a few to thousands in a matter of days as magma made its way up to the surface. Scientists both at the Cascades Volcano Observatory and at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at UW don't think that is what's happening now.
These quakes are "tectonic," meaning they show signs of being typical of earthquakes involving shifting fault lines, not a sign of the ground being distorted by the underground forces of volcanoes.
But a swarm of quakes is always worth paying close attention to.
"This is why we are always on alert, and when there's a swarm of earthquakes like these, we always have our pagers with us," said De Angelis.
Wat is er met Mt. Rainier?quote:Op dinsdag 1 februari 2011 13:04 schreef Fogel het volgende:
Mhh, die foto heb ik niet meer kunnen vinden.
St. Helens is de laatste tijd wel vaak onrustig... hoop dat die niet nog een keer ontploft. Maar als er dan toch iets kapot moet in die regio, liever St. Helens dan Mount Rainier.
Ligt dichtbij Seattle en een lavastroom zou hoogstwaarschijnlijk precies door de stad heen gaan. Niet handig.quote:
quote:Volcano sends love wave
Call it a Valentine’s Day tradition on a monumental scale.
A 4.3-magnitude earthquake occurred 6 miles north of Mount St. Helens on Monday morning — exactly 30 years to the day after an even bigger earthquake occurred at nearly the exact same spot. Monday’s quake was followed by more than a half-dozen much smaller aftershocks, all in the same general area.
Scientists said the seismic activity does not indicate magma rising at Mount St. Helens. They’ve detected none of the shallow quakes or gas typically associated with an imminent volcanic eruption.
But they said Monday’s quake — just like the one 30 years ago — is at least indirectly related to the volcano.
Felt as far away as south Puget Sound and Astoria, Ore., Monday’s first temblor was the biggest in the Pacific Northwest in two years. Scientists suspect the quake, at 10:35 a.m., may have occurred in a bit of post-eruption settling in the landscape surrounding Mount St. Helens, which last erupted between 2004 and 2008.
The quake generated a specific kind of shear wave felt over a wide area, said Bill Steele, seismology lab coordinator at the University of Washington in Seattle.
In a curious twist of timing and fate, this type of surface wave is named for the scientist who discovered it: early 20th-century British geophysicist Augustus Love.
“It was very rich in Love waves,” Steele said, with scant trace of irony. “Those Love waves coming out were probably what people were feeling.”
If so, it’s not the first Valentine’s Day that the volcano has been massaged by waves of Love.
Post-eruptive settling likely triggered a 5.5-magnitude quake in the vicinity of Johnston Ridge on Feb. 14, 1981, according to seismologists in Vancouver and Seattle. They said the massive and sudden expulsion of magma during the catastrophic eruption of May 18, 1980, probably increased stress in a well-documented seismic zone that runs north-to-south underneath Mount St. Helens.
In effect, the earth shifted nine months after the eruption.
“That was a fairly significant adjustment,” said Seth Moran, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Vancouver. “You had a cubic kilometer of material removed from depth.”
The earthquake and aftershocks on Monday were not as large as the ones in 1981.
However, Moran said the location and depth — roughly 3 miles below the Johnston Ridge Observatory — bears striking similarities to the 1981 temblor. The volcano spurted a new lava dome between 2004 and 2008, which may have created new strain in the seismic zone below Johnston Ridge.
Seismometers detected a swarm of smaller earthquakes in the general area about three weeks ago.
“We’re about three years removed from the end of the last eruption, in January of 2008,” Moran said. “Perhaps these earthquakes are in response to the end of that eruption.”
In that case, it may be well to keep this in mind for some future Valentine’s Day excursion to Mount St. Helens: If this hill’s a rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’.
“One can’t rule these things out completely,” Steele said.
