Wow... the last 3 pictures look like they came straight from a sci/fi movie.
Creepy yet very beatiful.

my sister-in-law's family is from iceland, but they're all city folk so the volcano is more of a nuisance and not a real danger

The volcano disrupted our trip to England to visit friends, but we couldn't help but feel as much in awe as disappointed.

These photos are amazing.

Is lightning common in volcanic ash clouds?

hey there say, bookworm, thanks for the share....

very hard to fathom the power in these things...
course, unless one is there... which is not the best place
to be... thus:

will sure be praying for folks...



oh my, DMT:
the horse, man, and yard, make one feel sad... :(

but thanks for sharing this, or we'd not know to
wish these folks well... and pray...

Some awesome photos in that link. I was going to post the link then did a quick search and found this thread.

The second photo in Dingus' post: that rock looks like it might have some routes on it, depending on rock quality. For sure it's got to be volcanic in origin. :-)

Here are some pics of climbing, hiking and caving in Iceland

Winter ascent of Mt. Esja, Iceland.


Caving is Iceland (more than a decade ago...)
