Eyjafjallajökull

                                         Scientists are actually unsure of the exact reason behind this awe-inspiring phenomenon, but believe it has to do with the immense electrical energy produced during the beginning of a volcanic eruption.

The fact that Volcanic Lightning usually happens only at the beginning of an eruption is one of the reasons that it is so hard to study, and so hard to photograph.

One thing is for sure though, when captured Volcanic Lightning is one of the most spectacular things that can be witnessed on our Earth.
