Mount St Helens, 3D satellite image
Mount St Helens, 3D satellite image. Satellite image showing the snow-capped Mount St Helens (centre), viewed from the south. Mount St Helens is an active stratovolcano (2250 metres) in Washington State, USA. The large crater at the top of the volcano, and the barren area (white) around it, were caused by a massive eruption in 1980. The surrounding forested area has been heavily logged. There are also several lakes (blue) in the area

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning 3D satellite image of Mount St Helens, an active stratovolcano located in Washington State, USA. Standing tall at 2250 meters, the snow-capped peak of Mount St Helens takes center stage in this breathtaking view from the south. The immense crater at its summit and the surrounding barren area, depicted as white, are remnants of a colossal eruption that occurred in 1980. The impact of human activity is also evident in this image. The once lush forested area surrounding the volcano has been heavily logged over time. However, amidst this deforestation, several lakes shimmer with their vibrant blue hues within the landscape. This photograph not only captures the sheer beauty and grandeur of Mount St Helens but also serves as a reminder of nature's power and resilience. It offers us a glimpse into Earth's dynamic geology and highlights the importance of studying volcanoes for scientific purposes such as vulcanology and earth observation. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this remarkable satellite image allows us to appreciate Mount St Helens' magnificence while raising awareness about environmental issues like deforestation. It invites viewers to contemplate our planet's delicate balance between natural wonders and human intervention.
