Eduardo "Eddy" Cartaya and a team of adventurers set out to explore a new cave system in one of the most dangerous landscapes in America: the crater of Mount St. Helens. Braving rockfall and avalanches, the team launches a 5-day expedition to be the first people to explore a cave system within a glacier that has grown up to 300 feet thick in places. The expedition uncovers a never-before seen world of ice and steam and volcanic beauty. Originally broadcast in 2014.
OPB is revisiting decades of stories our reporters and producers captured while working with scientists, photographers, adventurers and explorers on the volcano since its eruption on May 18, 1980.
