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.
