The ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’ page is showing how a rock slab is growing at the Mt St Helens volcano (remember it errupted spectacularly in 1980). Be sure to see the time lapse movie taken over the last few days.

Wow!
Stephen–
My uncle lives in Portland, Oregon, just south of Washington state, and I went to see it once when I was visiting him out there. It’s truly an amazing site, but with earthquakes and mudslides, it’s another reason I don’t want to live on the West Coast of the United States! Nice place to visit, though.
Dan,
It must be amazing to appreciate the shear scale of what happened. Mt. St. Helens always reminds me of Isa 54:10:
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
