In our penultimate volcano episode, we explore the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in Washington State. It's lucky that it was a weekend and lucky that the land was mainly used for foresting, otherwise, the devastation could have been in the tens of thousands of lost lives like we've seen. 

It's a story of forestation, preservation, and vulcanologists doing one of the most dangerous jobs out there. We're proud of you guys! Thank you for your service and please email us we'd love to ask you a million questions!
