I chose the area surrounding the peak of Mt. St. Helen's, I see this as an environmental issue in that it could possible replicate the events of the mid 1980's which destroyed acres of timber and took several lives in the direct blast. The hazard of lahar flows from another eruption could devastate the population near the mountain as it did in its most recent blowout. As you can see from the 3-D model the blue area indicates the growing crown of the volcano again as it refills and begins to build up again. As the mountain top begins to grow and reach its max capacity again the danger of another eruption also grows. The map coordinates are under the geographic coordinate system 1983. The extent info in decimal degrees can be found below.
