I don't know if you have been paying attention, lately, to Mt. St. Helens, but there is great news. The crater is refilling. A giant rock fin has emerged that is approaching the lower edge of the crater rim in altitude. If this keeps up, we may, in about 30 to 100 years have a view of the tip of the mountain! Woohoo! Of course I don't know how tall it will have to get before we actually would get a view, maybe another thousand feet, maybe another 10 thousand. But I like to think I'd be considered a canny real-estate investor by future generations.
All jokes aside, check out the volcano-cam. You can just see the lump in the back that is the 'fin' that is being talked about in the news.
