How tall is Mt. St. Helens?

rocky CHEYENNE BLACK EAGLE


Hi Cheyenne,

Volcanoes of the World, by Tom Simkin and Lee Seibert, says that the summit of Mt. St. Helens has an elevation of 2549 meters. However, the base of the volcano is at an elevation of about 1000 meters according to Volcanoes of North America, by Chuck Wood and Jurgen Kienle. Therefore, Mt. St. Helens is 1549 meters high.

Sincerely,

Scott Rowland
