Volcano monitoring station VALT in 2023. Rock-covered Crater Glacier is nearby.
Detailed Description
Monitoring station VALT, in the crater of Mount St. Helens, in 2023. Anxious about damage to the station from the advancing Crater Glacier (the rock and snow-covered cliff) and hazards to people working at the site, a CVO field team dismantled VALT on June 6, 2024 after 18 years in service. It will be rebuilt farther from the glacier.
