These are absolutely the very best pictures that I've yet seen of this volcano and the eruptions. Lots of great images of the surrounding farms and landscape, too.

All I can say is, that is AWE inspiring .

Fantastic picture.

Too bad that Iceland can’t get royalties for all of these images. They’re some of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

Very neat!

Incredible - and very moving - regardless of the strides man makes, there are some thing that cannot be conquered.

Thanks for posting! Glad I didn't miss these beautiful pictures.

With all that carbon located in such a small geographical area, you would figure that that would produce an abnormally high local hot spot. That is if there was any truth to the idea that carbon creates a “GreenHouse Effect”.

Absolutely stunning!!

You’d think the volcano had just shut down the way the ADHD news media stopped talking about it. I guess life is just hunky dory now for Icelanders?

More of that man made global warming....in technicolor. Great pics.

Thanks for sharing and I learned something!

Lightning can happen as a result of a volcanic eruption. As the hot ash rises through the cooler atmosphere, transfer of charge occurs. This excess of electrons within the cloud makes it act like a capacitor, and should the conditions be correct, huge electrical discharges may be observed as bolts of lightning during volcanic eruptions.
