Mt. St Helens 2 - a photo on Flickriver

Mt. St Helens 2

            Prior to the 1980 eruption, Mount St. Helens was the fifth-highest peak in Washington. It stood out prominently from surrounding hills because of the symmetry and extensive snow and ice cover of the pre-1980 summit cone, earning it the nickname "Fuji-san of America" ("Mount Fuji of America").[5] The peak rose more than 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above its base, where the lower flanks merge with adjacent ridges. The mountain is 6 miles (9.7 km) across at its base, which is at an altitude of 4,400 feet (1,300 m) on the northeastern side and 4,000 feet (1,200 m) elsewhere. At the pre-eruption tree line, the width of the cone was 4 miles (6.4 km).

Taken with a Nikon D80 and 18-135 lens. Out of an airplane window.  PS CS4 was used to remove the window glare and atmospheric haze. that can still be seen along the top.  The dark on the lower right cornor is the aircraft window. I was going to crop it but I would rather have the clouds than remove that edge.
