Volcano in Iceland ash cloud, lava just awesome in photos!

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano ash cloud over Europe has been moving slowly. This Icelandic volcano has caused the world to come to a complete standstill while we wait for the ash to fall.

Satellite photos and photos of the volcano have been released to the public for everyone to take a look. It is one of those wonders in the world that you can't help but be impressed with. Perhaps after that you might curse a bit as it has inconvenienced us all, but that is only after we realize there is nothing we can do but appreciate something others may not see in their lifetime.

A computer enhanced image provided by the German Aerospace Center, DLR, on Friday, April 16, 2010 shows a photo of the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier on Iceland taken by the TerraSAR-X satellite on Thursday evening, April 15, 2010 . The volcano in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air forced hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Flights around the world have been canceled and passengers stranded as the ash cloud from the volcano affected operations at some of the world's busiest airports


This image provided by NOAA shows the volcanic plume, from Wednesday's eruption of a volcano beneath Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier. Using sulfur dioxide concentration data from the NASA Aura/OMI satellite sensor, it shows smoke, ash, and other components that can cause aircraft jet engines to fail. The OMI sensor can distinguish the differences between cloud, smoke, dust, ozone and other aerosols, and is important in Earth observations for aviation safety.
