It seemed as if one of the region’s great natural landmarks – a lake by some accounts 4,000 years old – was gone forever. But nature had other ideas. Because runoff still drained into the same spot, a new lake began forming.
Today, visitors see a complete new lake – [though] covering a much wider area and shallower, which has been a boon (benefit) to aquatic life.
“It was a shock to people how quickly the lake recovered,” Mr. Gawal said. “Everybody was thinking, this will take forever for the lake to come back and for the landscape to come back. Everybody was surprised they were starting to see signs of life within a year.”
Much like the lake, the hundreds of square miles of century-old forests destroyed by the eruption have come back, in many ways richer and surprisingly different than before. Such a recovery would have seemed unfathomable for anyone who witnessed the destruction
The landslide was soon followed by a lateral [sideways] blast that sent hot ash and debris hurdling down the mountain at 300 miles an hour, scorching and toppling everything with 230 square miles. It also sent ash and gas 15 miles into the air in just 15 minutes
