The static webcam image of Mount St. Helens, is taken from the Johnston Ridge Observatory.
The Observatory and VolcanoCam are located at an elevation of approximately 4,200 feet,
about five miles from the volcano. You are looking approximately south-southeast across the North Fork Toutle River Valley.
VolcanoCamHD One is a near real-time view of Mount St. Helens taken from a new high definition camera. New camera images update to the server every three minutes. However, with network latency, images posted may not refresh as often.
This is a high definition camera using H.264 compression. This camera has the capability to offer live streaming. However, current bandwidth limitations and government security requirements do not allow for live streaming right now. The new camera was installed in June, 2014.

GREEN: | Volcano is in typical background, noneruptive state or, after a change from a higher level, volcanic activity has ceased and volcano has returned to noneruptive background state. |
YELLOW: | Volcano is exhibiting signs of elevated unrest above known background level or, after a change from a higher level, volcanic activity has decreased significantly but continues to be closely monitored for possible renewed increase. |
ORANGE: | Volcano is exhibiting heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption, timeframe uncertain, OR eruption is underway with no or minor volcanic-ash emissions [ash-plume height specified, if possible]. |
RED: | Eruption is imminent with significant emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere likely OR eruption is underway or suspected with significant emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere [ash-plume height specified, if possible]. |
NORMAL: | Volcano is in typical background, noneruptive state or, after a change from a higher level, volcanic activity has ceased and volcano has returned to noneruptive background state. |
ADVISORY: | Volcano is exhibiting signs of elevated unrest above known background level or, after a change from a higher level, volcanic activity has decreased significantly but continues to be closely monitored for possible renewed increase. |
WATCH: | Volcano is exhibiting heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption, timeframe uncertain, OR eruption is underway but poses limited hazards. |
WARNING: | Hazardous eruption is imminent, underway, or suspected. |
