This is the “smoke ring” a strange phenomenon that happens in volcanos and it has only been documented 3 times. Two from Mt. Etna in 1970 and 2000, and another from Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland, in May 2010.

Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: Chile’s Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano complex spews a scary cloud of ash and lightning during a June eruption that disrupted air travel throughout the region.

Lightning pierces the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano’s ash cloud in spring 2010. (See more pictures of lightning at Eyjafjallajökull volcano.)
While exploring Thrihnukagigur’s interior might not shed much light on why Eyjafjallajökull erupted so violently in 2010, the knowledge gained from the expedition could help scientists understand volcanoes in general, scientists say.“It could help us understand the plumbing systems in volcanoes,” Sigurdsson said, “how the magma moves around, … the conduits that magma travels along, and what it leaves behind when it’s finished.”

Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: Kilauea, one of the five shield volcanoes that make up Hawaii’s Big Island — and the most dangerous volcano in the US according to the USGS — erupted again this weekend following the collapse of its Pu’u ‘O’o crater, which sent spurts of lava shooting 80 feet in the air.
