Magma in the crater of Mount St. Helens glows in this United States Geological Survey photo taken at twilight Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004 from the Johnston Ridge Observatory. Scientists say the lava dome in the crater of the volcano has risen more than 300 feet since the last week of October. (AP Photo/Coutesy USGS (news - web sites))

NASA (news - web sites) scientists took visible and infrared digital images of Mount St. Helen's on October 12, 2004 that show an increase in the number of hot spots in the crater and a plume smoke emitting from the crater. Bright red in the crater indicates hot spots; blue indicates snow and clouds. IMAGE MADE OCTOBER 12 REUTERS/NASA/HO

I know that red magna has to be a huge area, it looks like a campfire in the distance.

I wish my perception skills were better. If I had gone to the Mt. when KV was younger like I wanted to it sure would help me relize now the magnitude of things.
