Dirty Thunderstorms – Volcano Eruption in Iceland
Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland has continuing to gather our attention. The huge plume of ash which has covered practically entire western and northern Europe has made a great deal of troubles to passengers and air traffic landing down probably the most of plane flights more than the Europe.
But it nevertheless continues to send a large amounts of ash to the air and photographers managed to catch a uncommon phenomenon a “dirty thunderstorm” which follows the eruption.
It is really incredible and also scary to see people photographs wherever boiling stones and plenty of powerful and shiny thunders are “dancing” and all that factor is followed by dark plume of ash.
It can be not entirely clear what is the actual trigger of such thunderstorms but scientists believe that they might be triggered by ice particles mixed with volcanic ash and lava. As it is possible to see from photos, those “dirty thunderstorms” are pretty intensive and at this moment the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano has took an apocaliptic appear considering the fact that it caused the breakdown of entire air visitors system for almost a week and we don’t know when it can be going to end.
