Washington – To commemorate the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington that happened on May 18, 1980, a series of events and Q&A sessions with volcanologists and seismologists took place online due to COVID-19.

The same thing happened last year commemorating the 40th year of the historical eruption. As pandemic restrictions begin to ease, all eyes are on the Johnston Ridge Observatory which remains closed.

This popular tourist stop sits in the heart of the blast zone roughly almost 5 miles away from the volcano. The latest website update still says a firm reopening date has not been determined.

Visitors can still enjoy the view in the plaza area behind the building and even stroll down the first .25 mile of Eruption trail.
