AFTERGLOW VISTA

-SAN JUAN , WASHINGTON

Formally known as the McMillin Mausoleum, Afterglow Vista is the final resting place of a mineral magnate’s family, entombed among a symbolic structure that looks like something out of a fantasy novel.   

This meaningful and loaded statement on death and family is open to the public, although anyone wishing to shoot a swords and sorcery epic may need a permit. 

But to learn more about the story behind this impressive monument visit atlas obscura

Eruption of Mount St. Helens.

In 1980, a major volcanic eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in state of Washington, in the United States. 

An eruption column rose 80,000 feet (24 km; 15 mi) into the atmosphere and deposited ash in 11 U.S. states. At the same time, snow, ice and several entire glaciers on the volcano melted, forming a series of large lahars (volcanic mudslides) that reached as far as the Columbia River, nearly 50 miles (80 km) to the southwest.
