Two Stunning Picture, Volcano's Lightning,

for the first time, scientists have been able to “see” and trace lightning inside a plume of ash spewing from an actively erupting volcano, above the Restive Redoubt Volcano in Alaska in the daytime,

but using a system called a Lightning Mapping Array, scientists have been able to “see” and trace lightning inside a plume of ash spewing from an actively erupting volcano, Paul Krehbiel of New Mexico Tech said "The lightning activity was as strong or stronger than we have seen in large Midwestern thunderstorms, the radio frequency noise was so strong and continuous that people living in the area would not have been able to watch broadcast VHF television stations."

Redoubt hasn't finished making noise yet; after quieting down for a few days, Redoubt exploded again, scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory expect the eruptions will continue periodically for weeks to months, so hopefully more stunning pictures to come.
