Olaf the Geologist

Guess who we found in our #TBT? — "Hi, everyone. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" Sitting on top of Mount St. Helens on Feb 11, 1983, Olaf and another geologist are working hard (well, clearly not Olaf) almost 3 years later following the aftermath of the 1980 eruption. Unfortunately, we don't have any personnel records showing a geologist by the name of Olaf around that time, so we suspect he was joining the USGS crew from the Frosted Flakes Expedition <-- we couldn't resist.
