Extract

St. Helens is one of a group of high volcanic peaks that dominate the Cascade Range between northern California and southern British Columbia, Canada. The distribution is in a band that roughly parallels the coastline of the so-called “Ring of Fire,” a near circular array of volcanoes located on islands, peninsulas and the margins of continents that rim the Pacific Ocean.
