Video Tour of St Helens Crater, Glacier, Ice Caves

I have always been impressed with this program, Oregon Field Guide.  It is high quality and highlights what a special area we live in. 

Here is a video segment (about 14 minutes) I borrowed off the tv from The Oregon Field Guide on KCTS.

Mt. St Helens Glacier/Caves - We take you on what has to be one of the most dangerous trips ever, deep into the crater of Mount St. Helens following researchers braving life-threatening rockslides and frequent earthquakes. They are studying the fastest growing glacier in the continental United States and the ice caves that lie hidden beneath it.

Cool video... Thanks for sharing!!

After watching the video a few times... I figured out that it must have been produced around the Summer of 2004, before the last eruption.  So there is obviously quite a bit of change to the scenery by now.  Still, I find the combination of fire and ice to be fascinating.  I take a lesson here.... that glaciers can not only recede, but also grow pretty fast.
