The collapsed north face of MT. ST. HELENS after the major
eruption of May 18, 1980. The first oozing of lava from the
dome inside the crater began in February 1983. At that time
the dome was estimated 700 ft. high, 2,000 ft. long and
1,800 ft. wide. A new lobe on the dome began to form with
lava oozing from a hole on the east side of the new lobe.
The hole was caused by two small explosions that sent
columns of steam and ash 6,000 feet into the sky.
