My face looks like this

That video clip is awsome.

But I think these stills are better...

Wow! Amazing.

Love those lightening pics, amazing.

I linked to stills, not a video clip?

Wow beautiful

LOVE those

Wonderful shots. I love the Icelandic landscape and the ones with the Northern Lights in as well as the volcano are particularly cool.

the lightening is caused by bruce willis, will smith and david tennant all simultaneously saving the world from Armageddon

Not sure howthe video came up then.

Just found the gallery though. I love picture #9 & 10

Just reading the captions it sounds as though it is unclear what is causing the lightening. ..One theory is that that the spewing magma bubbles or particles of volcanic ash are themselves electrically charged, and by their motion create separately charged areas

I love that lightning photo - saved (with some difficulty) for a possible desktop image; I love these kinds of images.

I posted this over on the weather topic, but there's some amazing images of lightning within the plume:

Click on the picture and Windows Media Player opens showing a short clip of lightning within the plume.

Jareth - your link goes to the still image, but I clicked on the "Watch video of lightning in volcano ash cloud" just under the image and I got to the video (eventually, my internet connection is very slow this evening). That's a fascinating video.

oooh, I shall go loook

makes me want to watch that docudrama supervolcano again

can't find it on iTunes though

aha!

Kerry, watch what?
