Wow. Strangely I was looking at pictures of volcanic landscapes and volcanoes earlier, and these are just stunning. (And rather frightening.)

Yes, it *is* frightening. The people in the area had a very tough time, especially because most of the ash fell on our side of the mountains at the beginning of the ski season on two of the largest ski resorts. That besides the loss of all the crops and huge problems to feed the cattle. The photos are stunning, though.

Que barbaridad... They are absolutely spectacular. I love them. But I think they were filed in the wrong place, I believe this must have been the sinking of Beleriand, actually.
