Virtual Flights Over Mount St. Helens

U.S. Forest Service Take a 360° virtual helicopter flight along the rim of the Mount St. Helens volcano and over Spirit Lake. Or maybe you'd rather fly over the blast zone. Better yet, how about flying into the crater of an active volcano. These three 2-minute interactive videos are available from the Teacher’s Corner of the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, courtesy of the US Forest Service.
