Summary

Slide description and index card: Aerial view of the "crater within a crater" between the May 25 eruption and the June 12 eruption, looking into the north-facing mouth of the main crater from the northeast. The smooth slope in the right foreground is a rampart of pyroclastic debris and ash that built up in front of the main eruption center, which is at the base of the large steam plume. The rock ridge on the left side is old volcanic rock, formerly buried, that was exposed for the first time in centuries by the May 18 eruption. Skamania County, Washington. June 4, 1980.
