6Mount St. Helens, Washington

Mount St. Helens, known for its cataclysmic eruption in 1980, is a living testament to the power of volcanic forces. 

The eruption dramatically altered the landscape, leaving behind a landscape marked by lava flows, ash deposits, and a towering crater. The regrowth and recovery of the surrounding ecosystem over the years stand as a symbol of resilience and natural rejuvenation.
