I was in Iceland myself in Late Feb, Also trying to capture the Aurora - sadly for me it was too cloudly at the time - and this was 3 weeks before the Volcano started to eurupt.

Stull it is tornado season! I am off to Okclahoma on saturday....

Stunning pictures all the same...

Far too much light on the volcano for one thing.

The volcano with the snow on it looks like day light picture. The light is coming from the font right of the camera making shadows in the snow. The road in the foreground; light is coming from behind the camera an left making shadows in the oposite direction.

I believe it is a composite.

Reuters has a reputation of enhancing their photographs and they have been caught out a number of times staging news pictures.

Reuters Photo Fraud

Otherwise known as 'dunking the cormorant'...

But I'm sure I've seen other fantastic photos of this that didn't originate from Reuters.

Wonderful images

I'm not sure the volcano has any effect on the aurora, which is going about its business up in the ionosphere, but that's a beautiful conjunction of two of the most visually spectacular phenomena that are given away free with a place on this planet
