Volcanologist Interview Question:

What made Erebus and St. Helens so dangerous?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Well, in the case of St. Helens and Erebus, both were in an active state and there was the potential for small eruptions to occur. In the case of Misti there are around 1 million people living within about 10 miles of a volcano that could reawaken at some point in the future causing very severe problems for these people.
