Eruption review
Falling rocks at the snow-covered Mount St. Helens in Washington, kick up a dust plume that rises above the rim of the volcano's crater, Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2005. This photo was taken from the Ridgefield High School in Ridgefield, Wash. Mount St. Helens rumbled back to life in 2004 after years of quiet, with a flow of molten rock reaching the surface. In 1980, an eruption killed 57 people.
