"STS111-371-3 Mt. St. Helens, Spirit Lake, Washington,
USA June 2002 Snow still covered the peaks of the Cascade
Ranges in mid-June when the STS-111 crew photographed Mt.
St. Helens from the Space Shuttle Endeavour. From their
vantage point, the crew observed blast zone from the 1980
eruption of the volcano, the mud-choked North Fork of the
Toutle River, and fallen timber that still floats in rafts
of logs on Spirit Lake (image on the right). Continued imagery of the region will
document the slow regrowth of the forests. Today, the
volcano and surrounding region comprise the Mt. St. Helens
National Volcanic Monument which is dedicated to research,
education and recreation." From the
