May 18, 1980. With the power of a nuclear explosion, Mt. St. Helens erupted.
Tragically, fifty-seven people were killed; 200 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. Furthermore, per Wikipedia, geologists predict that future eruptions will be more destructive, since the configuration of the lava domes there require more pressure to erupt. Despite this, Mount St Helens is a popular hiking spot, and it is climbed year-round.
We, on the other hand, commemorate this historic event with a pint glass from North Drinkware.
Says North Drinkware, The Mount St. Helens Pint is our handblown, 16 oz pint glass with USGS data of Mount St. Helens molded into the base of the glass. The details of this iconic erupted 8,366 ft peak come to life with your favorite drink in the glass.
Made in Portland, Oregon our glasses are lead-free and dishwasher safe. All glasses are handmade one-of-a-kind products that may have slight variation. Our commitment is to donate 1% of the sales of each glass to these select non-profits that are working to protect the mountains or improve the community surrounding each mountain featured in our glasses.
