2008 Pictures of the Year: Peoples Choice
Chilean Volcano
Lightning bolts appear above and around the southern Chilean Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 19 miles north of the volcano, in this picture that moved over the photo wires Saturday, May 10. It was the first eruption of this volcano in thousands of years. Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them. The picture was taken May 2.
