From Shield of Achilles

Wow! This is one hell of a photo – Lightning bolts captured around the plume of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Southern Iceland! This embedded image doesn’t do it justice – click on it to see the full picture. It comes through NASA’s “astronomy picture of the day“, so I’m reasonably certain it’s genuine. This photo was taken by Marco Fulle.

From The Big Picture: “Collected here are some images from Iceland over the past few days. (35 photos total)”
