This is a good view of Mt. St. Helens' new "fin" feature that is growing about 6 ft. a day inside the crater's dome. It's been present since May, 2006 after the old "whaleback" feature collapsed. The "fin" and the whaleback look similar. (Click on the image and make it bigger) When Jon and I visited this day in August, it was heavily pluming. Yikes! :) Check out this close-up image of the whaleback taken back in 2005.
