  2. Click Search, or press the [Enter] key.
  3. Wait. This may take a long time.
  4. Locate the place that you are looking for in the list and click on it. In this case, Mount Saint Helens is the first one on the list. You can tell because the type column says “summit�?, and it is a mountain that we are looking for.
