Uhh..a lightning storm in the volcano?

This is pretty crazy and some brave Sicilian photographers took these pics.  The island of Sicily is in the Mediterranean Sea and Mt. Etna has been known as an active volcano for thousands of years.  It is the tallest of the active volcanos on the continent of Europe.  There are still a lot of small villages in proximity of this large natural phenonenon.  Here is a bit more from the recent eruption:

After almost two years of quiescence, Mount Etna erupted this past Thursday with a spectacular display of lava and volcanic ash. Southern Italy woke up to ashen sky and a red glow above Sicily coming from Mt. Etna on the eastern edge of the island. The active volcano produced one of the most violent eruptions in recent decades and lasted in total less than an hour.

Let’s check out some pics in the video on page 2
