This resource presents three examples of lava domes, from Alaska, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, along with a 3D simulated view of Mt. St. Helens' lava dome. A diagram shows the progressive growth of Mt. St. Helens' lava dome from 1980 to 1983. A link leads to a thorough explanation of dome-collapse pyroclastic flows (nuee ardentes) and another leads to a numerical program of lava dome growth.

This article describes ice worms (Mesenchytraeus solifugus) that live on glaciers in southern Alaska, the Coastal range and British Columbia, and in the Olympics and North Cascades as far south as Mt. St. Helens. Pictures of the ice worms and information on their habitat, physiolology, diet, and behavior are provided.

This
site
describes
volcanic
landscapes,
which
contain
diverse
landforms
such
as
edifices,
calderas,
and
lava
domes.
The
three
main
edifices
are
scoria
cones,
shield
volcanoes,
and
stratovolcanoes.
A
chart
shows
the
outline
of
each
along
with
its
composition
and
eruption
type.
The
calderas
described
include
Crater-Lake
type
calderas
associated
with
the
