A professor said to me once that the problem with watching footage of a nuclear bomb exploding was how distractingly beautiful it all was. Can’t say I share the sentiment exactly, but I get that there’s a grand aesthetic happening in real time, unrepeatable and thus unique.

So it is with volcanoes – they’re so beautiful! and they even come with amazing lighting conditions for photography. Hence these beautiful shots of Eyjafjallajokull, Aviation’s menace of the north!
