Description
On May 18, 1980 Mount Saint Helens violently erupted, and lost much of its upper flanks, shown here covered in snow. This rare picture was taken in 1973. At the time, the mountain was part of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State. It has since received recognition as a national monument. This picture has been published many times including its use as the album cover for "Symphony No. 50, Mount Saint Helens" by the American composer Alan Hovhaness.
