Re: Great Pictures~

 

Two of nature's most spectacular forces produced an incredible brew in the

Skies above Chile as a volcanic eruption met a lightning storm. Tons of dust

and ash from the eruption of the Chaitin volcano poured into the night sky

just as an electric storm passed overhead. The resulting collision created a

spectacular sight as lightning flickered around the dust cloud amid the orange

glow of the volcano..

 

The eruption was all the more spectacular because the Chaitïn volcano,

800 miles (1,290km) south of Santiago , has been dormant for hundreds --if not thousands -- of

years. The Patagonian volcano began erupting on Friday 8-15-08 and the 12-mile-high

plume has left vast tracts of land coated with a layer of ash.
