Eyjafjallajökull Volcano, Iceland
Anything I could say here seems entirely inadequate. Except that why we have all these mythologies of Hell suddenly makes sense.
From National Geographic‘s Photo of the Day:
Lightning veins the Eyjafjallajökull volcano’s ash plume, which roiled air travel this spring [of 2010]. Such “dirty thunderstorms” may occur when rock and ice particles loosed by exploding magma collide in the atmosphere.
