Mount St Helens belches steam as tremors rise
Mount St Helens released a thick white steam cloud thousands of feet above its crater on Monday as days of tremors and low level earthquakes raised fears of a bigger eruption. Scientists said it was unclear if a larger blast was imminent and noted the venting produced mainly steam that melted glacier ice. Experts described ongoing magma pressure and observed crater floor shifts near the lava dome while earthquakes of magnitude 2 and 3 continued.
