Eyjafjallajokull Eruption: Amazing Photos
April 26th, 2010
My first thought when I saw these photos was, “Wow, it is Mordor!” Tolkien fans will know what I mean, non-Tolkien fans? Never mind. The photo was taken by Ragnar Th Sigurdsson/www.arctic-images.com in Iceland.

I can’t pronounce the name of that volcano.
On the basis of these pictures I’m just going to call it Mount Doom, which makes a great deal of sense considering that Tolkien was a Norse mythology scholar.
Stunning! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! This thing has it all. Fire and brimstone. Thunder and lightning. Yeah, that’s the Crack of Doom alright.
@Rev Lehmann
It’s pronounced ay-uh-fyat-luh-yoe-kuutl-ul
This catchy song might help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEEXY6HrQ6Y
@Vernon: Even the pronunciation “help” is…unpronounceable!
: )
Isn’t it remarkable that something so disastrous can also be dazzlingly beautiful? Even a volcanic eruption displays the artistic handiwork of the Creator. Perhaps we could even go far as to say this is a sacramental sign of what is written in Romans 8:28.
Gotcha, it’s pronounced Doom.
Thanks!
