This volcano in Chili, called Chaiten, keeps erupting and sending ash all over the place. The photos that have come from it are amazing to say the least, but there are some simply spectacular ones with lightning that blow the mind away.
I’ll post a few shots of the volcano itself, but then check out the last three with the lightning…amazing stuff.

Okay…now…the lightning…
Meteorologists and scientists know lightning and volcanoes are linked somehow, but they are still fuzzy about exactly WHY this happens.

Ahh! Holy crap! Glad those weren’t in my backyard! lol
You’d have a volcano in your backyard if it was, and then you probably wouldn’t have a backyard anymore.
Not that you’d know since you’d be instantly buried in ash.
Okay, that was kind of morbid.
Man, the photographer who took those is pretty awesome. Great shots.
I have to think some of it is time-lapsed photography, but still.
Holy……..
Did you know, for a while I wanted to be a volcanologist? It only lasted a few months…but still. These pictures are sick!
