Mount St. Helens, one of the most dangerous and fascinating volcanoes on Earth, erupted in 1980. As a result, the area around the volcano was devastated and many lives were lost. However, over time, life has returned to the mountain. Today, the area around Mount St. Helens is a hotbed of scientific research as scientists study how life has returned to an area that was once lifeless. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is a must-see destination for anyone interested in geology or natural history.
