Mt. St. Helens, May 18th 1980, 8:32am
"An eyewitness to the unimaginable, Suzanne Christiansen drops awestruck on Mount Adams as the blast, 35 miles away, quickly spreads to a 20-mile halo of death." - photos by John V. Chirstiansen. Photos and quoted text originally published in National Geographic Vol. 159, No.1 (January 1981).
