How can I obtain a copy of a photograph of Mount St. Helens erupting? Do I
need to obtain permission or pay a fee?

Dear Becki,
The
Northwest Interpretive Association
sells slides of Mount St. Helens erupting. If the slides are from the
U.S. Geological Survey or the U.S. Forest Service they are in the public
domain and you may use them as you wish (but please be courtesy and
acknowledge the photographer and agency). You might also look at the
slide sets offered by NOAA'S National Geophysical Data Center
If you need some other sources drop me another note.
