Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. February 1969 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Opening of a fissure across Chain of Craters Road west of Alae Crater: 2:08 p.m., February 22, 1969, lava fountains from the fissure extend into the forest on the right side of the road, setting fires and forming tree molds. The lava flow advances along the highway causing the asphalt to melt and, in places, burn. The asphalt pavement is buried by a thin flow and can commonly be located and mapped by observing the black discoloration of the flow due to tarry substances distilled from the asphalt. Photo by J.C. Forbes. Figure 13-E, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 891. Photos sda00013, ska00014, sda00015, sda00016, and sda00017 form...

Album caption: Thermal infrared images of Mount St. Helens obtained prior to 1980 eruption sequence, showing the two historic thermal areas. Image shows thermal area A, a small area of weak fumarolic activity at The Boot, on north flank at 2,740 m (9,000 ft) elevation. On this late-summer morning, instruments were set to depict two levels of background heat emission - glaciers and few remaining snow patches as cold, and snow-free ground as warm. Skamania County, Washington. August 7, 1971. Published as figure 147-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 1250. 1981. Index card unavailable.

The National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) is a Congressionally mandated national archive of geoscience maps, reports, and stratigraphic information. The Geologic Mapping Act of 1992 and its Reauthorizations calls for the U.S. Geological Survey and the Association of American State Geologists (AASG) to cooperatively build this national archive, according to technical and scientific standards whose development is coordinated by the NGMDB. The NGMDB consists of a comprehensive set of publication citations, stratigraphic nomenclature, downloadable content in raster and vector formats, unpublished source information, and guidance on standards development. The NGMDB contains information on more than 110,000 maps and...

Album caption: Computer-generated shaded-relief images of filtered digital terrain models of Mount St. Helens. Data were filtered by averaging pixel values over 3 x 3 areas. Increased uncertainty of contour location within snowfields appears as terraces (in southeast) and crevasses (in northwest). B. Model from photographs of May 12 and 16, 1980. Small discontinuity just south of Dogs Head is an artifact of the join between May 12 and day 16 digital terrain models. Skamania County, Washington. May 16, 1980.

The catastrophic, explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, on May 18, 1980, is the most well-known eruption of the volcano. Less well known is the May 18th eruption marked the beginning of a period of eruptive activity that lasted through 1986. From October 1980 through October 1986, a series of 17 dome-building episodes added millions of cubic meters of lava to the crater floor. Most of the growth occurred when magma extruded onto the surface of the dome, forming short (650 to 1,300 feet), thick (65 to 130 feet) lava flows. This data release is a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and a corresponding hillshade raster derived from a previously unpublished 1:2,000 scale topographic contour...

Slide description and index card: Aerial views of the Mount St. Helens crater and eruptions from the north and northwest. C, These phreatic eruptions seemed to grow in slow motion because of the immensity of the scene. Some were powerful enough to throw out automibile-sized blocks of rock and ice. Skamania County, Washington. April 10, 1980. (Photo by John Whetten). Published as Figure 14-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1249. 1982.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 1959 eruption of Kilauea Volcano, first phase of activity in Kilauea Iki Crater. Braided lava cascades down the crater wall to the lava river, the main cascade, and the lava lake, viewed from Byron Ledge overlook. Fume rises from the fountain and from the dead vents. On the north wall of the crater, a number of forest fires sweep up the slope. Photo by U.S. National Park Service, November 15, 1959. Published as Figure 7, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 537-E. Compare with photo rdh00079 taken after activity ceased.
