Look at the pic following your comment.

The lava dome is 500 feet tall and a third of a mile wide. The new activity is on the far side of the dome, where the glacier was.

djf -- Thanks for explaining and telling me about those new photos. I took a peek at the St. Helen's site and did some searching. They have some images posted of the new dome. But it does not look to be anywhere near 30 stories high to me. Of course, distance could throw off my perspective.

Images from Nov. 4th are available here:

Cunning, deceptive Froggies . . . Chirac visited Arafat briefly and then skipped out of the EU meeting. Froggies are probably worried about getting their cut of Pali pay-off money. But perhaps it has already been looted from Arafat's Swiss bank accounts by systemic electronic transfer recently?

They had a really good shot this morning on CNN showing the glowing dome. It's farther back that I thought. You could see it really well in the aerial shot...

Am I the only one who finds it interesting that St. Helens along with volcano's in Iceland and Mexico are acting up along with some very strong earthquakes from Japan to California.

I located two Volcano web sites that update every day:

First site has "40 volcano cams" but I did not check them out. Iceland volcano apparently went off again today November 6th:

Mount St. Helens has a woodie?

I guess even Mother Nature is happy that President Bush won relection! ;^)

Thank you for posting these links.

Saved them in my Earthquakes Fave File(webtv).

I know that red magna has to be a huge area, it looks like a campfire in the distance.

I wish my perception skills were better. If I had gone to the Mt. when KV was younger like I wanted to it sure would help me relize now the magnitude of things.

The weatherman prdicted "freezing Fog" for your area.

I have never heard of freezing fog.
