Eyjafjallajökull Volcano Eruption Pictures
 
Boston.com has some great pictures of the eruptions and fallout.

These are good too.

And for those who are interested, here's how to pronounce it.

Alex 04-22-2010 09:46 AM

I haven't looked yet, but I'm pretty sure it is prounounced "the Iceland volcano." And should the bigger one go off it is pronouned "the other Iceland volcano."

Ghoulish Delight 04-22-2010 09:51 AM

"Mordor"

Curiously, the Iceland volcano is pronounced the same as one would pronounce 'SzczerbiakManiac' and that is "eggs benedict"

The lightning ones are my favorites. Thanks for the links.

Disneyphile 04-22-2010 11:02 AM

Awesome!

While I know this eruption has caused upset and inconvenience for many people, I'm actually in awe over the power of nature, and have been somewhat enjoying seeing the earth spew. :)

alphabassettgrrl 04-22-2010 11:02 AM

Wow. The lightning ones and the empty airport really are dramatic.

mousepod 04-22-2010 11:06 AM

Not to take away from the volcano shots, but have you seen the amazing new images of the Sun?

Capt Jack 04-22-2010 11:36 AM

I cant decide whick scares me more on those sites, the pictures or the commentary

neat pics in any case.

Disneyphile 04-22-2010 11:54 AM

Some of the comments are ridiculously stupid.

"The earth is angry." or "God is angry." or "This is a result of our inaction to the damage we've caused on the planet."

Um, no. How about "The earth is the earth and doing what it's supposed to. It's nature." But, no.... I see mostly "doomsday" type comments. Dumb, dumb.

Gemini Cricket 04-22-2010 11:56 AM

Extraordinary pics!
Wow!
:)

Didn't watch the videos, but the still-shots they show of the sun are gorgeous!

If those links don't work, go here.

Capt Jack 04-23-2010 11:20 AM

ok, those are cool.



(wow...we're really small)

Morrigoon 04-23-2010 12:16 PM

I forget what the relationship is between erupting volcanoes and lightning. Something to do with the ash in the air, I suppose.

Oh, here it is

alphabassettgrrl 04-23-2010 03:55 PM

Cool! Love the northern lights above the volcano.

Thanks for the link about how lightning works in the ash cloud.

Jazzman 04-23-2010 10:38 PM

Holy crap! It's Falkor!





I don't remember him shooting lightning from his nose, though...

This must be the Neverending Eruption! :D

Tref 04-23-2010 11:16 PM


Oh my God, get those kids away from Evjafjallajokull!
