Volcanic Lightning.LINK.More than 150 times in the past two centuries, volcanic eruptions have been accompanied by spectacular displays of lightning. Sometimes broad bolts of lightning streak across the sky. Other times St. Elmo's fire (ball lightning) cascades from above. Sometimes volcanoes produce branching displays such as at Sakurajima (see photo above.) The 1981 eruption of Mt St Helens featured a spectacular display of sheet lightning, with truck-sized balls of St Elmo's fire seen rolling along the ground 29 miles north of the mountain. Other well-known volcanoes that produced lightning include Vesuvius (1944), Krakatau (1990's), Surtsey, the new volcanic island in Iceland (1963), and Paracutin, the cinder cone that grew out of a farmer's field in Mexico (1940's.)

Kudos to whomever took the photo. Had to have been very hot even using a super zoom lens.

That one green lightning bolt is a nice touch. Obscured by dust! What a Fantastic picture this is, I'd love to hear what it all sounds like!
Actually, I think the green lightning bolt is an artifact of the lens. It looks like a mirror of the brighter bolt in the picture, no?
