Earth: a scary place to live



Like most planets, earth too can be a terrifyingly beautiful place. One can't help but to look in awe at the intense beauty and forces that our planet constantly shows us. These pictures taken by Carlos Gutierrez of the Chilean volcano, Chaitin, eruption in May was one for the record books. It spewed ash 12miles (about 19k into the air) and released ash and thick lava for about a week. The most astonishing visuals were seen during a 'dirty thunderstorm' surrounding the volcano.
