caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Nach dem 18. Mai gab es im Verlaufe des Jahres 1980 fünf weitere explosive Eruptionen des Mount St. Helens, darunter auch dieses Ereignis vom 22. Juli. Die Eruption sandte Asche und Bimsstein in eine Höhe von 10–18&#160;km und war 160&#160;km nördlich in Seattle, Washington sichtbar. Dieses Bild wurde aus südlicher Richtung aufgenommen. English: After May 18th five more explosive eruptions of Mount St. Helens occurred in 1980, including this spectacular event of July 22nd. This eruption sent pumice and ash 6 to 11 miles (10-18 kilometers) into the air, and was visible in Seattle, Washington, 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the north. The view here is from the south. Nederlands: Na 18 mei 1980 waren er nog 5 explosieve uitbarstingen van Mount Saint Helens, inclusief deze op 22 juli. Deze uitbarsting zond puim en as 10 tot 18 kilometer de lucht in en was zichtbaar in Seattle, Washington, 160 kilometer ten noorden van de vulkaan. Deze foto is genomen ten zuiden van de vulkaan.
context_page_description: List of active volcanoes includes volcanoes which are erupting, or have erupted in modern times. Many volcanos have erupted dozens of times in the past few thousand years, but are not erupting at this moment. Some scientists consider a volcano active if it has erupted in the holocene period.
  Most volcanoes live many thousands of years and erupt many times. However, most do not erupt even once in a human lifespan. Signs of unrest such as unusual earthquake activity or significant new gas emissions are signs that a volcano is active. An example of an active volcano is Mount St. Helens in the United States.
  There are more than 1,500 volcanoes that could be active today. An estimated 500 million people live near active volcanoes.
  Planet Venus has more volcanoes than Earth. Some may be active.
