Mount St. Helens 2004-2008 Eruption: A Volcano Reawakens
Mount St. Helens 2004-2008 Eruption: A Volcano ReawakensMount St. Helens reawakened in late September 2004. Small magnitude earthquakes beneath the 1980-1986 lava dome increased in frequency and size, and a growing welt formed on the southeast margin of the previous lava dome and nearby portions of Crater Glacier.

East Lae'apuki Shatter Ring (October 16, 2006)
The lava-tube feature seen here is called a shatter ring. Shatter rings are circular to elliptical volcanic features, typically tens of meters (yards) in diameter, which form over active lava tubes. They are typified by an upraised rim of blocky rubble and a central depression.

Lava breakout from the PKK lava tube at East Lae‘apuki
Lava breakout from the PKK lava tube at East Lae‘apuki(Sept 21, 2006, 18:00:02 to 00:00:05) Between the morning of September 20 and the evening of September 22, 2006, there were 10 separate breakouts from the PKK lava tube. Each originated about 50 meters inland from the older sea cliff bounding the inboard edge of the East Lae‘apuki lava delta.
