The Mount Saint Helens Volcano in Washington state is showing signs of unrest, as magma was confirmed to be moving underneath its edifice. This has generated a sustained rate of elevated weekly earthquakes, which has now been ongoing for more than 3 months. So, is an eruption likely? What is the context of these earthquakes? This video will answer these two questions and discuss what might happen next at this volcano.
