The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 2008 was relatively low in danger compared to its catastrophic 1980 eruption. While it produced significant volcanic activity, including ash emissions and minor lava dome growth, there were no fatalities or major injuries reported. The U.S. Geological Survey closely monitored the volcano, and the surrounding areas were well-prepared for potential hazards, minimizing risks to the public. Overall, the 2008 activity was significant but not as destructive as previous eruptions.
The Mount St. Helens eruption occurred in Washington state, in the western United States.
July 10th 2008
The eruption on May 19th 2008 has been classified as uncertain and no fatalities have been reported.
Mount St. Helens produced a large eruption in 1980. However, it was not the largest recorded eruption in North America. That title goes to the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska.
The most recent eruption of Mount St. Helens occurred in 2008, but it was a relatively minor event compared to the devastating eruption in 1980. Since then, the volcano has remained mostly quiet with only minor seismic activity.

The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 lasted for 9 hours
The last eruptive activity of Mount St Helens was in July of 2008.
The eruption of Mount St. Helens did not occur on July 10, 2008. The most significant eruption of the volcano took place on May 18, 1980, which resulted in 57 fatalities. There were no fatalities associated with any eruptions in July 2008, as the volcano was relatively quiet during that time.
No, Mount St. Helens last erupted in 2008. The most notable eruption of Mount St. Helens occurred on May 18, 1980, resulting in significant devastation to the surrounding area.
The 2008 eruption of Mount St. Helens did not result in any fatalities. The volcano's activity was primarily characterized by dome-building eruptions that posed minimal risk to nearby populations, as extensive monitoring and evacuation plans were in place. The eruption, which began in October 2004 and continued through 2008, was closely observed by scientists, ensuring public safety.
No, Mount St. Helens is not extinct. It is considered an active volcano, with the last eruption occurring in 2008. The volcano continues to be monitored for any signs of potential activity.
