Mt St. Helens Photography

I photographed this from a helicopter while on a annual report assignment for Pacific Power and Light in 1982. We asked the fellow who measured the snow pack to "act" it on a snow/ice field just north of the volcano's crater. Everyone was nervous flying the helicopter into the crater. In 1986, photographer Ralph Perry perished with the rest of the helicopter crew while on assignment for National Geographic. www.nytimes.com/1986/02/13/us/around-the-nation-copter-cr....
