Harry Glicken (1958 – 1991) was a volcanologist who was killed on 3 June 1991 by a pyroclastic flow on Mount Unzen in Japan. Also killed were forty-two other scientists and journalists, including volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft.
Glicken was scheduled to observe Mount St. Helens on 18 May 1980, the day of its eruption; however, he was not present on that day as he had an interview at a college in California. His replacement, David A. Johnston, was killed by the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

“Comes from a fine family. So she tells me. Brother’s a priest, all that. But, you know, death, disaster, unfortunate investments. One day she’s a little princess, up on the hill. Next, she’s down there, working the bars for the best she can.”
—Peter Prince, British screenwriter, and Stephen Frears. Harry (Bill Hunter)
