| Gray mud on trees along the Muddy River marks the height of the lahar as it swept down the river more than 15 km from the volcano. Note person in yellow jacket for scale. Although the lahar reached a depth of at least 10 m in this area, the resulting deposit is less than 1 m on the river terrace where the person is standing. |
