The aftermath of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption has been making news for days, but we haven’t heard much about its long term effects on the environment. We have our own active - and very destructive - volcano here in the U.S., Mount St. Helens.
Our photo this week comes from photographer Frank Gohlke, who documented changes in the Mount St. Helens area for several years after its devastating 1980 eruption. This particular shot was taken a full THREE years after the eruption, and might look familiar if you visited the Carter during our 2007 exhibition, Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke.
