This is a static, near real-time image of Mount St. Helens, taken
from the Johnston Ridge Observatory. The Observatory and VolcanoCam
are located at an elevation of approximately 4,500 feet, about five
miles from the volcano. You are looking approximately south-southeast
across the North Fork Toutle River Valley. The VolcanoCam image
automatically updates approximately every five minutes.
We have a dynamic version of this web page
also available. It uses
a Java applet to automatically refresh the image itself, instead
of the entire web page as done here. |
