Three miles due west of the volcano, Robert Landsburg continues to fire as the blast bears down.

In his final moments, he rewinds the film, seals his camera in his backpack, and braces for impact.

Weeks later, his photos are developed—blurred, scorched, and unforgettable.
Photograph taken by Robert Landsburg on May 18, 1980, showing the early stages of the Mount St. Helens eruption. A dark ash plume rises above the mountain’s fractured north flank. A dirt road winds through a conifer forest in the foreground. Light streaks and specks are visible on the image due to ash and heat damage to the film. Second image by Robert Landsburg, captured moments after the first. The ash plume has grown wider and more defined, darkening the sky above the mountain. Trees in the foreground remain silhouetted. Ash particles and streaks are visible across the image surface from heat and debris damage. As the eruption intensifies, Landsburg captures a third image of the expanding ash cloud, now beginning to obscure the landscape. The foreground road is still visible, but atmospheric haze and ash distort the scene. The image shows severe damage from heat and airborne particles. A fourth image taken just before the blast reaches Landsburg’s position. The ash cloud dominates the frame, nearly filling the entire view. The photograph is heavily degraded by heat, debris, and impact, creating streaking and discoloration across the surface.
