Mt. St. Helens is still an active volcano about 50 miles north of Portland, OR and 100 miles south of Seattle WA USA. The last major eruption was in 1980. It disrupted all ecosystems near the volcano, except aquatic ecosystems in the area benefited from the amounts of ash. Most lakes in the area had returned to their normal state six years after the eruption. 42 years later, new growth forest is abundant, and many seasonal varieties of wildflowers thrive in the dry but mineral-rich soil.
