Erect floating stumps in Spirit Lake, Washington

¹ Geoscience Research Institute, Loma Linda, California, 92350

The eruption of Mount St. Helens in May 1980 carried thousands of trees into Spirit Lake, where a giant log raft formed. Many of these broken stumps, especially those with roots, now float suspended vertically in the water. This phenomenon could have been responsible for erect petrified trees in other volcanic areas such as Yellowstone.
