I remember seeing it in person for the first time in 1990. Even between then and now, the transformation is amazing.

Behold, the restorative power of Nature: great slideshow!

Yea I remember watching something on it and they said the soil is much richer now than it was before. Just like a forest fire, destruction brings new life.

Fantastic, those volcanic places always bring out the best flora over time afterwards

It's only a 100 miles from where I live. I'm planning to do a lot of hiking around the mountain this summer.
