Volcano: Eruption and Healing of Mount St. Helens

By Patricia Lauber

Book cover for Volcano

May 18, 1980, 8:32 A.M.:
An earthquake suddenly triggered an avalanche on Mount St. Helens, a volcano in southern Washington State . Minutes later, Mount St. Helens blew the top off its peak and exploded into the most devastating volcanic eruption in U.S. history.

What caused the eruption? What was left when it ended? What did scientists learn in its aftermath?

In this book, Patricia Lauber details the Mount St. Helens eruption and what happened to the area around the volcano afterward. You can witness both the power of the volcano and the comeback of life in the following years.
