Another incredible story from Mt Adams it was on May 18th 1980 there were two people hiking on the top of the summit of Mt Adams when they saw ash started to erupt from Mt St Helens from their view they took photographs of the Mt St Helens eruption from the summit of Mt Adams
How far away from each other are they; are they on the same geologic 'laneway'? I don't know what the word for it is, but you know, the same plate arc, or some such?
@@ValeriePallaoro Both peaks are part of the Cascade Mountain Range, which is largely a volcanic mountain range, rather than an uplift range (like the Olympic Mountains, also in Washington, or the Sierra Nevadas in California). The peaks are about 30 miles apart, almost due east-west (with Mt. St. Helens to the west) from one another. Both are about 40 miles south of Mt. Rainier. Glacier Peak is a fair bit further north and Mt. Baker & Mt. Shuksan are near the border with Canada. In the other direction, Mt. Hood is south of Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Adams, just across the state line in Oregon.
South of Mount Adams, is Mount Hood, and about the same distance further south, is Mount Jefferson, Then, The Three Sisters. South of The Sisters, is Crater Lake (Mount Mazama), then Mount Shasta, in California, and Mount Lassen, at The southern end, of The Cascades. The entire area is dotted with volcanic cones, and Prineville advertises itself, as the "Rockhound Capital of the World", and I understand it is famous, for Geodes; which I believe, are "lava bombs", with crystalline interiors. The Paulina Lakes, and Paulina Peak (another volcanic remnant, perhaps a "supervolcano") are nearby.
Would love to see those photographs! I was in the Area, in 1977, and rode my bicycle, up U.S. 30, to Astoria. Was fortunate to see Mount St. Helens, before it blew. It was one of the most beautiful Mountains, in the World, rivaling Fujiyama.
It is a distinct possibility. I nearly included a mention of this in today's video, but found no conclusive evidence that it was or was not related. For all we know that lahar may have occurred sometime between 1670 and 1730 due to a margin of error.
Me too, I was born in Central WA. Every summer I drive to Puyallup to buy flats of probably the best tasting berries in the nation. But the same soil that makes these berries, has signs everywhere for "evacuation routes" to flee the next eruption & accompanying lahars. There are very few berry farms left. The whole west side is one long urban landscape of homes and businesses. Heaven help the people living there, should those volcanoes come out of dormancy.🙏🏼x
"ever-present threat" well said. Arguably the biggest risk with the Cascadia volcanoes and other stratovolcanoes around the world vs an actual volcanic eruption. The deterioration of the mountains is more than just heat. It's also a combination of sulphur and precipitation combing to make sulphuric acid which breaks down the rock. Mt Rainier is only around 500,000 years old which is astonishing considering it's sheer volume and height.
Would be nice sto see a sister episode about Conboy lake to the east of trout lake. Great stuff man! Love to learn the geological history of that whole area.
It's interesting that the most notable lahars on Mount Adams and Mount Rainier were on their W-SW flanks. I'm sure they've occurred in other directions, but even as a local resident, I've never heard mention of any others.
Sometime in the 2000s I think there was also a glacial avalanche from the White Salmon or Avalanche Glaciers, that also swept down that side and right over the Round the Mountain Trail. Some local hikers remember when that happened. Flattened lots of trees and sent debris down that side, the area of orange rock. That glacier (or two glaciers) are very prone to avalanches, and more recently there was a warning put out by Darryl Lloyd to not hike in that area for a while, until the threat of glacial avalanche had passed. I guess it never did happen, so it is safe again. (I have hiked on Adams and in that area, even off trail in that zone, many many times.) Of course this is not exactly the same: this was a glacial avalanche or collapse of the glacier (not a snow avalanche during winter). Whereas in this video, he is describing landslides.
Got turned back by weather my first and only attempt at Adams. Was around for St. Helens. Family want me back to the PNW but the Kumbaya crowd is nauseating. Get well soon WA.
My wife's ancestors helped build the PNW but we had to leave because of the trash. Hopefully someday the community of that beautiful region will get better.
I have lived in Spokane, Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellingham. I highly recommend the North Cascades and the Bellingham area. August/early September is a perfect time.
@@r.awilliams9815 yeh But I thought there would only be landslides cause by an eruption like Mount St Helens or when Mount Rainier Osceola Mud flow I did not think there would be that kind of mud flow with out an eruption.
FYI the photo at the beginning of this video is of Rainier, not Adams. An image search for "Mt. Rainier seen from Olympia" will prove me right - from this angle, all three summits of Rainier are visible, as in the photo.
5:00 wait wait wait, are you saying that the ice was retreating before people started using oil! NO way the media tells me that only happens because of human made CO2 /sarcasm

The Cascade volcanoes are among the most beautiful and fascinating
I would say Naples has the most fascinating volcanoes
I wonder if that 1700 landslide was in any way related to the Cascadia earthquake that occurred in Jan of 1700.

It's flipping huge, you can easily see it from well over 100 miles away.
Grew up with a clear view of Mt. Adams from my hometown. Beautiful and weirdly forgot about.
It's hidden way in the back of the cascades, it's why I loved visiting it so much, it truly is in the middle of nowhere.
@@DuneJumper Same, my favorite mountain to hike. From Oregon here.
Thanks as always! Volcanic debris avalanches are very interesting!

I love Mt. Adams. I need to go back.
You do a lot of videos about the Northwest. I live in Buckley. It’s at the base of the foothills that lead up to Mount Rainier.
Yay another volcano video. I can't get enough
Mount adams is beautiful
I prefer the 3 sisters mountains.
@@Trancymindyeah, Mt Adams is beautiful
I can see it from my window on most days (Yakima)
@@Trancymind
I prefer non Karen.
@@louielouie6259Who says they are named Karen?
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Love the cascade chain stuff..we live under them! More better! Thanks
Mt, Adams shure has a 'Mt. St. Helens' look to it.
Yes, just with a more extruded resurgent lava dome. I do kind of wonder if Mt. St. Helens will have more extrusion sessions in the coming decades.
i always enjoy your information videos.
4:07 "Landslide occurred around the year 1700." No doubt from the January 26, 1700 Cascadia Subduction earthquake. Nez pas?
not conclusive.

Beautiful country
Yeah, do the San Juan islands.
@@Vesuviusisking initially called Tahoma it was renamed.
Right in my backyard.
Mt. Rainer has also suffered lahars due to hydrothermal altered rocks on the East side of the edifice and the West side is ready to go now too
The dike that formed beneath grindavik starting to generate another eq swarm last night!!
Wow! Clear to the Columbia!
The 1700 year landslide was caused by the 1700 mega earthquake that happened.
Geology hub can you make a video of the wianae volcano
So the mountain is basically rotten
Yep, just like Rainier. Probably Mt. Baker as well.
@@r.awilliams9815 yeh But I thought there would only be landslides cause by an eruption like Mount St Helens or when Mount Rainier Osceola Mud flow I did not think there would be that kind of mud flow with out an eruption.
To an extent, Mt Adams is more so than Rainier or the others. I believe I read that in the Mt Adams book, Ever Wild by Darryl Lloyd.
What do you think the next event will be up here?
Any stories passed down via oral tradition by the native dwellers?
Also, the first mountain that you labeled as Mount Adams was in fact, Mount Rainier as viewed from somewhere around Eatonville
Can see it out my window
😎
4:47 White Sea man?
What ? No lava lamp footage?

There's a huge bulge at the peak. It won't be very much longer before the mountain comes to life.
It’s got electrolytes, it’s what plants crave!
