#VolcanosnowmanI got my first snowfall of the upcoming winter last week, and this week North America is facing an early-season outbreak of arctic weather. A typhoon in the Pacific Basin is migrating north towards Alaska today and will, over the next few days, knock the jet stream and an arctic airmass south over the bulk of North America. I even made the mistake of moving farther north this year. This therefore seems like the right day for this photo.This photo shows a geologist from the US Geological Survey on the slopes of Mt. St. Helens in Washington from February, 1983, almost 3 years after the large explosive eruption in 1980. The geologist has a friend holding his radio, belt, and I’m pretty sure that’s a can of mildly chilled beer.-JBBImage credit:https://www.flickr.com/photos/usgeologicalsurvey/14218344980/ -- source link
