Mt St Helens fin growing

[southsider2k5]

Very cool formation forming out of a very dangerous lava bulge in the crater of the volcano.

So what will eventually happen with this fin? Will it eventually fall over, or will this be a new way to get to the moon soon?

I imagine when there's the next eruption it will all topple over or something

I had to click on this link, because, after all, I am interesting, damnit!

It it survives an eruption entact, it'll probably end up a good distance from the crater; chilling in some huge hole it created.

 

It's surprising to me how quickly this rock is growing. 4-5ft a day? Considering it's already 300ft tall, it'll have to topple over soon because in one year it would conceivably be taller than the Sears Tower.
