Eyjafjallajökull eruption 2010
Beautiful. Haven’t seen this picture before. It really shows the mix of fire, ash and ice. I can assure you that this is so much larger than what you might perceive from the picture.

This footage is from an airplane that flew around the Grímsvötn eruption today. Lightning have been unusually common around this eruption. It is normal that lightning occur within the ash cloud, but during this one there are much more than usual. The highest occurance of lightning during the Eyjafjallajökull eruption was 22. This time it has gone up to 2198 lightning bolts.
This image shows the lightning count of the Icelandic Meteorology office. They’ve set up an entire page with up to date lightning information in English.

This is a picture of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier during the eruption last spring. It is quite amazing to view the lightning bolts that usually light up an ash cloud in the dark.
