The panorama looks south from the snow-covered true summit, with the rim of the main crater at left-center and the less-distinct west crater at right. In the distance are snowy Mount Adams at left and the shattered gray mass of Mount Saint Helens at right.

(Panorama with 70-degree field of view, digitally composited from two photographs.)
