Lightning bolts appear above and around the Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 30 kms (19 miles) north of the volcano, as it began its first eruption in thousands of years, in southern Chile May 2, 2008. Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them. Picture taken May 2, 2008.

No wonder ancient people thought volcanoes were gods....there is enough energy being released there to power the City of New York for a full year.

It kind of makes me feel insignificant, knowing how little we really do know, or how much we do control our planet.

Yes, it is an amazing photo, the smoke cross over the Andes mountains, from Pacific side to atlantic...but the situation there is not a joke, all the people from Chaiten City was evacuated because experts estimated that this big smoke colum, could collpase down, generating a stream of dust at about 400 degrees celsius that run at aprox 100 Km per hour, If that occurs, it will devast and burn all the wonderfull flora and fauna there, nothing will survive in a 10 Km radius. Im in Chile but fortunatelly Im at 800 km North from Chaiten.

Jimmy, lean your head to the right, until it is almost touching the top of your shoulder. I can see what looks like two eyes, and the bottom jaw is missing but it does look skull like from that angle.
