In this video, we delve into the explosive history and astonishing resilience of Mount St. Helens. After its catastrophic eruption in 1980, this iconic volcano devastated 230 square miles of forest, reshaping the Pacific Northwest forever. Yet even in destruction, life returned, with nature’s unlikely heroes like lupines and pocket gophers kickstarting recovery. Decades later, Mount St. Helens is stirring again, showing seismic activity, ground deformation, and gas emissions hinting at a new chapter. Scientists closely monitor these signs, knowing the next eruption could once more transform the landscape. From devastation to renewal, this story reveals the enduring power of nature to heal and adapt.

Oh its going to blow and kill millions
I call it the rebuilding phase. I’m surprised it hasn’t rebuilt much yet.
According to Indian stories Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier have blown up at the same time before. They also say Mt St Helens blows more often and Mt Rainier usually blows shortly afterwards. I expect it will blow soon.
I'm sure if this was really about to happen it would be plastered all over the News and it is not!
I'm sik of heering bout this stupid fuckin 50000 thousand year old Pre Flood mound of fuckin dirt. Jebuss fuckin dam CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many earthquakes I felt in Ft Washington
The ring of fire
It absolutely IS NOT about to erupt anytime soon. Everything going on with the activity is normal.
Yep, let's put geological time scale events on a human time scale…. Don't hold your breath on an eruption anytime 'soon'.
Use Trump to plug it.
I have a bottle of ash from the last eruption. Scooped it up from my folk's front yard.
350 earthquakes !!?? The Word of God, (the Bible) warns that in the later days there will be "Earthquakes in diverse (many different) places" MATTHEW 24:7. Same verse warns that soon: "nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be severe famines and pestilences, (diseases)". Good people Jesus is your only hope. He is the only way to Heaven. Seek Him while there is still time. The Lord will greatly Bless you when you do…..
This video is an endless video of volcanoes that aren't even Mt St Helens. Other than that it's a bunch of basic knowledge that should be known to anyother in there 3rd year of high school. Truely a video for morons. This is why we need good schools not education via YouTube.
Complete crap to get YouTube hits!!!
I live in the state of Montana when Mount Saint Helens exploded we had ash here
I live near Mt St. Helen's and there is NOTHING going on like Fox says there is. What a surprise.
Kamala can save us ! Keep voting, early and often !
MT. SAINT HELENS ?….and your are posting footage from HAWAII ???? BULL TO THE SHIT!
This is one of the many forces that man is attempting to alter, but it won't work, just leave it alone and give warnings and keep watch.
Ive got my six packs and lawn chair ready for Yellowstone, not St. Helens. If it aint Yellowstone, I dont care.
Is gold brought up by it?
The last eruption really messed up the Ape Caves. Fred Meyer was selling small vials of ash when you could scoop it off the street for free. I still have a butter tub full of ash.
Are people so lazy they can't even narrate a story anymore?. What a sad and stupid way to be
Mother nature can only take so much crap from us.
She is doing it again. You better pay attention!!
Mount St. Helens is not on the brink of an eruption, but it remains the most active volcano in the contiguous United States and is considered the most likely to erupt again in our lifetimes. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has classified it as a "very high threat" volcano, though this designation is based on potential hazards and risks rather than an imminent eruption. I was in the caldera 7 years after the big eruption. We got to walk up to the lava dome, and I put my hand on it. In that moment I had an epiphany. I felt as though I touched the face of God and was humbled beyond measure. Feeling the heartbeat of the Earth under my fingers was somthing transformative.
Looks like the mexicans need to biult the wallk quik now for the invasors
