The Mount St. Helens volcano camera is now "high def" - and not just because it's perching at 4,500 feet.

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest has added a second camera to its Web site, a high-definition camera that provides a closer and sharper view of the growing lava dome.

It is part of a three-camera array tucked under the eaves of the Johnston Ridge Observatory, about 5 miles north of the crater.

The U.S. Forest Service's older camera - called the "classic" on the Web site - will remain online, and, like the newer version, will provide a new digital photograph every five minutes.

I've long been a fan of the Volcanocam, and any upgrade to it is certainly in order...

There is the link, but be advised that you may need to download additional drivers in order to view that site.
