Earth As Art	Special Announcement:   USGS to stop Photographic Production A leading source of land information for exploring our changing planet.

Featured Sites Archive Mount St. Helens, Washington This true-color view of Mount St. Helens was acquired on September 28, 2004, just days after USGS geologists began noticing seismic activity under the volcano. The first steam emission occurred on October 1, 2004, and an eruption is expected within the next few months. The most recent major eruption occurred on May 18, 1980. This massive eruption flattened 230 square miles, changed the landscape dramatically, and resulted in 57 deaths. Mount St. Helens is located 95 miles south of Seattle, Washington.

Featured Products Archive Medium Resolution Digitized Aerial Film Product Beginning October 4, 2004, the USGS EROS Data Center has implemented a medium-resolution digital product. Starting with the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) collection, which will be followed by other USGS agency collections including NHAP, Index/Mapping Photography and Survey Photography, the USGS will systematically generate browse and medium resolution products. Over an estimated five years, these collections, as well as the other collections within the historical film archives, are scheduled to be digitized. During this time, all film source collections are available to customers as a High Resolution Scanned product. For further information please visit Medium Resolution Digitized product description.
