Makes me think about the Yellowstone supervolcano...that damn thing is going to take out half of North America at some point. Probably long after I'm dead, but the whole "could be in an hour, could be in 1,000 years" thing annoys the hell out of me.

^ Yeah, I heard about that this morning.
That motherf&cker is best just left out of sight, out of mind, and pray she don't blow none.

Reminds me of more than a few women I know.
You gotta stop looking gift meth addicts in the mouth, mirth.
OK, this one (Villarrica, also in Chili) looks a bit apocalyptic :o

Wow. Cool pic.
Damn!
It looks like some kind of Ancient Astronaut-type artifact detonated, and the photo was taken right after occurrence of the ultra-subsonic-dubstep sound effect and just before the arrival of glowing shock wave.
Crazy!
on another side, 5-6 months of blowing snow & ice up here doesn't seem so bad now.
There are quite a few crazy Chilean volcano-lightning pics around from other recent ones too. They're all pretty amazing.
Makes for good desktop wallpaper. 8)
I think these are from Caulle, 2011:

I recall some great pics from one in 2008 also.
Wow, Nef. Those are extraordinary.
I keep expecting to see the Eye of Sauron in those pics!
