About Mount St. Helens
Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It lies 52 miles (83 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon, and 98 miles (158 km) south of Seattle. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from that of the British diplomat Alleyne FitzHerbert, 1st Baron St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who surveyed the area in the late 18th century. The volcano is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Other times Mount St. Helens came up
Nope. I don't think we've talked about him before. He was a photographer and he lived quite near Mount St. Helens in Washington State. He, in 1980, it looked like it was having a little eruption, as they do. Something's a little belch.
