It's so different than other places, such as Hawaii (Big Island).

My family and I were at the volcano on Kona in June, 2004. Walked to within fifteen feet of molton lava near where it goes into the ocean. Quite an experience. Thankfully, we can watch Mt. St. Helens on TV!!

It's so different than other places, such as Hawaii (Big Island).You are right...the Mt. St. Helens and Pacific Rim volcanic "Ring of Fire" has magma of completely different chemistry than the Hawaiian arc volcanos. The calc-alkalic suite that makes up the Ring of Fire volcanos is highly explosive. Hawaii volcanoes flow, Cascade volcanoes blow up.
And thats all I have to say about that.
Hope you are in a safe location.
