In April 2010, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull spewed great ash
clouds into the sky and caused enormous disruptions to air travel in
Europe. The eruptions are best remembered for this inconvenience, but
photographer James Appleton managed to capture the event in a different
way. In the weeks before the disturbances, a vulcanologist friend of his
alerted him to the unfolding volcanic drama, and Appleton travelled
straight to the Icelandic mountain before it was closed off. Risking his
life to battle extreme cold, high winds, and seismic activity, Appleton
captured a rare but gorgeous scene: the glowing lava from an
Eyjafjallajökull fissure with the Northern Lights—Aurora Borealis—overhead.
These are two very different light sources, so “the photograph needed
parts of the scene selectively blocked for sections of the exposure to
balance the contrast,” Appleton recalls. “A Mars bar wrapper came in
handy for this!”

About Me
- Ako Si Pau VaLenz :)
- It is all about my feelings, my pleasures, my happiness, and me. It is all about me even when things have noting to do with me. Any decision I make in my life or any thing I do shall return some kind of happiness or pleasure back to me. It is all about me - because I will not function normally any other way. I hate pain and suffering and the only time I willingly put up with it is when I obtain something back that makes me feel good about myself. I am constantly thinking how to make myself happy.
