The Recovery of Mt. St. Helens

February 17 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm


Summary:

After the eruption of Mt. St. Helens the blast area looked like a lunar landscape. It was predicted by some that it would take many decades for animals & plants to repopulate the blast zone. Surprisingly, this was not the case. Dr Sherwin looks at brand-new islands such as the origin and rapid colonization of Surtsey in 1963. Creation ecologists have extrapolated the rapid recovery of MSH to what happened directly after the Flood 4500 years ago.
