This is a picture of a thunder-storm created by the ash cloud of an erupting volcano.

Cool or what?

Is this available as a hi-res image somewhere?

Hey chaps - The image is from this website;

http://www.cracked.com/blog/7-images-to ... tally-are/

It's a shot of the Chaiten volcano in Chile

here's another:

and another:

I don't know whether a hi-res is available, I suppose you could search around the web or contact the website, they might put you in touch with the photographer..

You can find more pics with this google search:

You can also Google 'Chaiten volcano' and then go to the top of the page where you have 'web' 'images' 'maps' 'news' video' 'mail' 'more' and click on the 'Images' one. This will bring up loads of images from the web of the volcano including satellite stuff.
Click on the drop down box and select extra large images and you should have plenty of hi res options for desktop, prints etc.

hope this helps.

Andy

Oops! Just clicked Byron link and the same 'Images' page comes up, so just do the drop down box for extra large images!
