Summary

Description
English: 360° panorama from the summit of Mount St. Helens as seen on an early-October afternoon. In the foreground is the ice-covered crater rim. Visible in the lower center is the lava dome. Steam rises from several dome vents. Above the dome, in the upper centre, lies Mount Rainier and Spirit Lake. Mount Adams appears to the right of Rainier on the horizon as well as Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson on the far right. Also on the far right are glimpses of the Swift Reservoir, Yale Lake, Lake Merwin and the Lewis River. Climbers stand on the crater rim and are visible along the Monitor Ridge climbing route.

Français : Vue panoramique à 360° depuis le sommet du Mont Saint Helens, dans l'état de Washington, aux États-Unis d'Amérique, par un après-midi de mi-octobre. Au premier plan, on voit le bord du cratère recouvert de glace. Près du centre de l'image se trouve le dôme de lave. De la vapeur d'eau s’échappe de plusieurs bouches du dôme. Au-dessus le dôme, se tiennent le Mont Rainier et le Lac Spirit. Le Mont Adams apparait à la droite du Mont Rainer, sur l'horizon, avec le Mount Hood et le Mont Jefferson, tout à fait à droite. Également à droite, on entrevoit le réservoir Swift, le lac Yale, le lac Merwin et la rivière Lewis. Les alpinistes se tiennent sur le bord du cratère et sont visible près du chemin d’ascension Monitor Ridge. Photo de Gregg M. Erickson.
