Mount St. Helens - The Volcano is Alive

Mount St. Helens on the west coast of the USA exploded 30 years ago. After the smoke and steam had passed, there remained a remarkable image - the volcano had transformed the green forests and mountain lakes into a moonscape. As shocking as this was, it soon became clear that the volcano had created a huge research laboratory. A visually stunning film which makes the explosion of the mountain and the return of life not only comprehensible but an experience.
