Slide description and index card: Effects of the May 18 mudflows in the vicinity of Mount St. Helens. C, Mudflows destroyed nearly all the bridges that crossed streams draining from the northern, northeastern, and northwestern parts of Mount St. Helens. This lack of stream crossings greatly hampered ground rescue and recovery efforts. The steel highway bridge shown in photo no. 35ct (msh_1249_00035_ct) was formerly at the site shown in this photo, on the North Fork Toutle River 23 miles downstream from headwaters on Mount St. Helens. Aerial view. Cowlitz County, Washington. May 20, 1980. (Photo by Philip Carpenter). Published as Figure 31-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1949. 1982.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Portable drilling rig used at Kilauea Volcano in 1965-66. The drill (left) is powered by a connected chain saw motor (in left hand of operator) and is lowered and raised by a hydraulic feed (in the right hand of the operator). Coolant water is pumped (right center) from two fifty-gallon drums. Steam rises from the March 1965 vent area; the main vent is out of the picture toward the right background. The highest level of the lava lake before drainback is recorded by the "bathtub ring" in the background. Circa 1968. Figure 7, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1004.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 1969-1971 Mauna Ulu eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Eastern compartment of Mauna Ulu vent area after activity had ceased. The eastern compartment and pedestal cone are viewed from the southwest from a slightly different location (chiefly lower) than in the previous photographs in the sequence. November 14, 1969. Figure 32-H, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1056. Photos sda00058, sda0059, sda00060, sda00061, sda00062, sda00063, sda00064, and sda00065 form a sequence. Time elapsed between photos sda00058 and sda00062 is two minutes; time between photos sda00062 and sda00064, three minutes.

Album Caption: Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. These arcuate end moraines of a former small cirque glacier are the type locality of the McNeeley Drift. The cirque is on the north slope of the Sourdough Mountains seven-tenths of a kilometer south of McNeeley Peak and almost directly north of the Sunrise Visitor Center at Yakima Park. Pumice layer R, which is more than 8,750 years old, overlies the outermost McNeeley moraine at this locality. Circa 1964. Pierce County, Washington. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 847, figure 23. 1974.

Album Caption: Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Forested McNeeley and bare Garda moraines of a former cirque glacier at the north end of Old Desolate, north of Mount Rainier. The McNeeley glacier reached about 300 meters farther than did the Garda glacier. Circa 1964. Pierce County, Washington. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 847, figure 24. 1974.

Album Caption; Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, Arizona. Flow structure in the top of a recent basalt flow at the mouth of a narrow channel from which lava flowed (lower right-hand corner). Aa plates are up-ended and oriented perpendicular to the direction of flow in the center. Plates and clinkers are strung out parallel to the direction of flow along the margins of the central part. 1949. Coconino County, Arizona.

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.

These slides of the July 22, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens were taken by Jim Vallance, who was in a U.S. Forest Service fixed wing aircraft and by Mike Doukas, Harry Glicken, and Rick Hoblitt who were in a U.S. Geological Survey helicopter. There were three major eruptive pulses on July 22, 1980. They begin at 17:14, 18:30 and 19:02 PDT. Slide no. 43 through no. 62 show the third eruptive pulse. this sequence was taken while moving clockwise from the west to the north side of the mountain at a distance of 7 to 10 miles and at an elevation of 17,000 feet. View of eruption at 19:03. Skamania County, Washington. (Photo by J. Vallance, USGS)
