MSH80_st_helens_before_big_eruption_04-10-80.jpg
The smallest of five major volcanic peaks in Washington State was Mount St. Helens, with an elevation of 9,677 feet (2,950 meters) before the eruption of May 18, 1980. Another Cascade volcano, Mount Adams (12,286 feet [3,745 meters]), is in the distance. The view is from the west.

MSH80_bulge_on_north_side_04-27-80.jpg
A "bulge" developed on the north side of Mount St. Helens as magma pushed up within the peak. Angle and slope-distance measurements to the bulge indicated it was growing at a rate of up to five feet (1.5 meters) per day. By May 17, part of the volcano's north side had been pushed upwards and outwards over 450 feet (135 meters). The view is from the northeast.

MSH80_eruption_mount_st_helens_05-18-80.jpg
On May 18, 1980, at 8:32 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook Mount St. Helens. The bulge and surrounding area slid away in a gigantic rockslide and debris avalanche, releasing pressure, and triggering a major pumice and ash eruption of the volcano. Thirteen-hundred feet (400 meters) of the peak collapsed or blew outwards. As a result, 24 square miles (62 square kilometers) of valley was filled by a debris avalanche, 250 square miles (650 square kilometers) of recreation, timber, and private lands were damaged by a lateral blast, and an estimated 200 million cubic yards (150 million cubic meters) of material was deposited directly by lahars (volcanic mudflows) into the river channels. Fifty-seven people were killed or are still missing.

MSH80_eruption_mount_st_helens_plume_05-18-80.jpg
For more than nine hours a vigorous plume of ash erupted, eventually reaching 12 to 15 miles (20-25 kilometers) above sea level. The plume moved eastward at an average speed of 60 miles per hour (95 kilometers/hour), with ash reaching Idaho by noon. By early May 19, the devastating eruption was over. Shown here is a close-up view of the May 18 ash plume.

For weeks volcanic ash covered the landscape around the volcano and for several hundred miles downwind to the east. Noticeable ash fell in eleven states. The total volume of ash (before its compaction by rainfall) was approximately 0.26 cubic mile (1.01 cubic kilometers), or, enough ash to cover a football field to a depth of 150 miles (240 kilometers). In this photograph, a helicopter stirs up ash while trying to land in the devastated area.

Downstream view of the North Fork Toutle River valley, north and west of St. Helens, shows part of the nearly 2/3 cubic miles (2.3 cubic kilometers) of debris avalanche that slid from the volcano on May 18, 1980. This is enough material to cover Washington, D.C. to a depth of 14 feet (4 meters). The avalanche traveled approximately 15 miles (24 kilometers) downstream at a velocity exceeding 150 miles per hour (240 km/hr). It left behind a hummocky deposit with an average thickness of 150 feet (45 meters) and a maximum thicknes of 600 feet (180 meters).

During the May 18, 1980 eruption, at least 17 separate pyroclastic flows descended the flanks of Mount St. Helens. Pyroclastic flows typically move at speeds of over 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers/hour) and reach temperatures of over 800 Degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius).

Five more explosive eruptions of Mount St. Helens occurred in 1980 (after May 18), including this spectacular event of July 22.

Mount St. Helens erupted often between 1980 and 1986. An explosive eruption on March 19, 1982, sent pumice and ash 9 miles (14 kilometers) into the air, and resulted in a lahar (the dark deposit on the snow) flowing from the crater into the North Fork Toutle River valley. Part of the lahar entered Spirit Lake (lower left corner) but most of the flow went west down the Toutle River, eventually reaching the Cowlitz River, 50 miles (80 kilometers) downstream.

MSH81_new_lobe_spreading_center_from_west_06-26-81.jpg
Betweem 1980 and 1986, Mount St. Helens' dome grew in different ways. From 1980 through 1982 the dome grew in periodic extrusions of stubby lava flows, called lobes. This pattern changed in February 1983, when growth became continuous and mostly endogenous (internal). Perioidic lobe growth, along with endogenous growth, resumed in early 1984. Pictured here is an aerial view of Mount St. Helens' dome and the June 1981 lobe with its "spreading center". A spreading center is the area from which new lava slowly emerges during lobe growth. During this time frame Mount St. Helens' lobes grew at a rate of 3 to 10 feet per hour (1-3 meters/hour).

By 1987, the dome had replaced only three percent of the volume removed by the May 18, 1980 eruption. If that rate of growth had continued it would have taken over 200 years to rebuild Mount St. Helens to its pre-1980 size. Instead, Mount St. Helens entered a quiet period which continued until 2004.

A new lobe was extruded, increasing the dome's height to 925 feet (282 meters), making it taller than a 77-story building. In volume, the dome was nearly 40 times the size of Seattle's Kingdome stadium. In this 30-minute, moon-lit exposure, hot rock from the new lobe is seen glowing on top of the dome. The view is from Harrys Ridge, five miles (8 kilometers) north of the volcano.

MSH81_USGS_scientists_measure_radial_crack_base_dome_05-12-81.jpg
The U.S. Geological Survey established both periodic and continuous 24-hour monitoring programs at Mount St. Helens to study and predict eruptions. In this slide, geologists used a steel tape to measure the distance across a crack on the crater floor. Widening of cracks was an indication that magma was rising and deforming the area, leading to an eruption. These cracks were generally radial to the dome, like spokes of a wheel.

GS-28

MSH84_USGS_scientists_survey_the_dome_05-26-84.jpg
U.S. Geological Survey geologists use a theodolite and EDM (Electronic Distance Meter) to measure angles and slope-distances to the lava dome. Changes in these angles and distances are used to calculate "deformation rates". An increase in deformation rates is an indication that magma is slowly entering the dome. In the early 1980s deformation rates often reached 30 feet per hour (10 meters/hour) as magma rose and the dome expanded before extrusion started. During the winter months, the instrument stations often had to be dug out of the snow before measurements could be made.

MSH81_collecting_gas_samples_base_dome_09-24-81.jpg
USGS geologists collect gas samples around the dome. Samples were gathered from vents on the dome and crater floor, and were used to monitor changes in chemical composition. Additionally, sulfur dioxide gas was measured from a specially-equipped airplane before, during, and after eruptions to determine "emission rates" for the volcano. During eruptions, emission rates typically increased to 5 to 10 times their pre-eruptive value.

MSH82_leveling_slope_changes_crater_floor_05-82.jpg
Geologists did precise leveling to measure changes in the slope of the crater floor, due to moving magma. Changes in slope was also measured electronically by tiltmeters. Tiltmeters allowed 24-hour monitoring as the information was telemetered back to CVO. Other instruments such as displacement meters for measuring cracks, seismometers for measuring earthquakes, gas sensors for measuring gas concentrations, and magnetometers for measuring the magnetic field, were also used for 24-hour monitoring. Spirit Lake is visible in the background in this image.

MSH82_coldwater_lake_early_warning_gage_10-01-82.jpg
One major concern to people living downstream of Mount St. Helens was a breakout of any of the impounded lakes, such as Coldwater or Castle Lakes, due to the instability of the debris dams blocking them. Flood waters from a breakout could be more catastrophic than the lahars of May 18, 1980. Gages, such as this Early Warning Gage on Coldwater Lake, were installed at lakes and streams surrounding the volcano. These gages continuously monitored changes in water levels. Major increases or decreases in levels trigger warnings which are telemetered to the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver.

MSH82_bank_erosion_toutle_river_02-22-82.jpg
A major problem to people living downstream of Mount St. Helens was the high sedimentation rates resulting from stream erosion of the volcanic deposits. Streams were continuously down cutting channels, eroding their banks, and eating away at the avalanche and lahar deposits. This material was eventually transported downstream and deposited on the streambeds, decreasing the carrying capacity of the channels and increasing the chances of floods.

By 1987, nearly 140 million cubic yards (110 million meters) of material had been removed from the channels.
