A second eruption occurred on May 25, but the crew survived and was rescued two days later by National Guard helicopter pilots. Their film, The Eruption of Mount St. Helens!, later became a popular documentary. The eruption had negative effects beyond the immediate area of the volcano.

As activity on the island decreased, it was declared dormant by the Tonga Geological Services on 11 January 2022. [2] [21] However, a large eruption commenced on 14 January 2022 at 04:20 local time (15:20 UTC, 13 January), sending clouds of ash 20 km (12 mi) into the atmosphere.
Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt. [8] The odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7%, so the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant. [9]
The drainage basin for Blue Lake has very steep, forested slopes and is mostly part of the explosion crater left by the volcano's eruption. The volcano lies within the Metolius River basin, which supports a wide array of plant life, large and small mammals, and more than 80 bird species. A 2009 Oregon law designated the Metolius River basin as ...

An eruption from South Sister would pose a threat to nearby life, as the proximal danger zone extends 1.2 to 6.2 mi (2 to 10 km) from the volcano's summits. [69] During an eruption, tephra could accumulate to 1 to 2 in (25 to 51 millimetres) in the city of Bend, and mudflows and pyroclastic flows could run down the sides of the mountain ...
