Mauna Loa Lava Flow, April 2, 1984
A USGS scientist walks along a lava flow from the April 2, 1984 Mauna Loa eruption. The scientist stops to observe a standing wave of lava at the end. The lava flow is moving at 64 km/hr (40 mph) towards Hilo, Hawai'i.

Mount St. Helens in eruption, May 18, 1980
Mount St. Helens erupted catastrophically on May 18, 1980 beginning at 8:32 a.m. USGS geologist Don Swanson photographed and filmed the eruption from about 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., documenting the rising ash column and ground-hugging pyroclastic density currents.

Mount St. Helens 1980 Ash Cloud as Seen From Space
Eruptive activity at Mount St. Helens captured the world’s attention on May 18, 1980 when the largest historical landslide on Earth and a powerful explosion reshaped the volcano. A volcanic ash cloud spread across the US in 3 days, and encircled the Earth in 15 days.

1923 Survey of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona
The survey of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona. This survey, perhaps the most difficult ever undertaken by government engineers, was made to show the possibilities for development of power. Every feasible dam site was surveyed and the flow of all tributary streams was measured.
