Mount St. Helens' lava dome as viewed from the "Deepthroat" station after five years of growth. The lava dome was 755 feet (230 meters) high and 1/2 mile ( kilometers) wide in this view, making it taller than a 66-story building and almost as wide as the length of nine football fields. The dome completely fills the camera's field of view. Compare with image taken August 22, 1981 from the same location with the same camera.
