Chaiten Volcano
September 22, 2009
I recently saw a few photos of the Chaiten Volcano eruption which occurred about a year and a half ago. Not sure why this item went unoticed, I think it must have something to do with the media giving most of its attention to the 2008 presidential elections.
The photos are fascinating, especially the lightning image.
The Chaiten Volcano is located in Chile, the recent eruption occurred in early May 2008—the volcano’s first activity in over 9,000 years.
Lightning picture taken May 2, 2008 by Carlos Gutierrez. The other two photographs are from Reuters.
