A man was hiking near Mt St Helens when it erupted what he captured is incredible. We take a look at the amazing photo that was taken near Mt Adams.
Mount St. Helens erupted on May the 18th 1980. The volcano, located in southwestern Washington, used to be a beautiful symmetrical cone about 9,600 feet above sea level. The eruption, which removed the upper 1,300 feet of the summit, left a horseshoe-shaped crater and a barren wasteland. Today the land is healing, having recovered its natural beauty, but the landscape has been permanently altered.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!
