Marvel at the awesome power of nature as The Eruption of Mount St. Helens displays the change evoked by a massive volcanic eruption and the renewal process that followed it. In this Academy Award-nominated film, beautiful photography of the mountain prior to the explosion is harshly contrasted with the apocalyptic post-eruption scenery. Soar over and through the unearthly landscape of mud, ash, and steaming craters.
