“El Diablo” restaurant at the Spanish island Lanzarote is located on the top of an active volcano. No, it doesn’t spew lava, but chefs here use internal heat of Earth erupting from the cracks in the ground to cook food.

Visitors and residents of a Sicily have witnessed this frightening action. It was realy dangerous and beautiful at the same time.

The volcano located on Mount Etna on the island of Sicily began erupting over the weekend. It sent flows of lava down its slopes and sparks and flames over 820 feet into the air. Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

In early June, the volcano Puyheue in southern Chile started erupting volcanic ash. The president of Argentina announced that the residents, who were affected by the ash in the southwest region of Patagonia, will be provided with humanitarian assistance. And already on July 1st, the ash in the atmosphere prevented a flight from leaving the airport in Buenos Aires.

Here are the lands that got covered with ash.

The eruption of the Puyehue in Chile on June 4th continues to cause trouble. The pumice and ash is polluting the lakes and rivers that are close by which threatens to damage dams which could result in flooding. 

This is the Puyehue volcano that is located in southern Chile. It erupted violently on June 5 and displayed a considerable amount of ash and smoke high into the air. The column of ash, smoke and gas was three miles wide and six miles high (10km). It was brought to Argentina by the wind covering some of its cities with a blanket of ash.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has recently erupted sending fountains of lava spewing into the air.

The volcano has been erupting since 1983 repeatedly and this time it was quite a show.

This is the 4,662 foot high Shinmoedake volcano in Japan. This volcano has erupted several times recently. This new eruption is amazing to watch as it belches smoke and ash high into the air. This causes officials to cancel flights into the area and restrict access to the mountain and no one was injured.

This unusual volcano is located on Hawaii. Its name is Kilauea. It has been erupting since 1983. Lava from Kilauea has been destroying numerous homes for many years in a row. It has managed to scare local residents away. And you can now see images of this volcano from the past 27 years.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull’s volcano continued to spew ash all over Europe, it should remind all of us of the wrath that Mother Nature can wreak. As the volcano continued to rumble and hurl ash skyward it also brought us some beautiful scenery as these photos prove. Although the volcano shut down airports all over Europe, it also made for some gorgeous and interesting photography.
