Climb An Active Volcano

From an article in the LA Times:

"Want to see for yourself what it feels like to look into the mouth of the most active volcano in the continental U.S.?Sure, you can get a permit to climb the 8,365-foot summit by yourself. But a better way might be to hook up with experts who know what they’re doing. Each year, the Mount St. Helens Institute hosts several field seminars on and around the volcano."
