Yeah, it's the volcano in Iceland. But it's kind of interesting to see what the world of Mistborn might look like.

Wow, that's positively vivid.  No wonder TLR had to make all the living things tougher.

I don't know what causes this, but it's pretty cool.

The same thing as regular lightning: static electrictricity generated by particulate collisions builds up until the charge difference between the cloud and the earth becomes great enough to cause a discharge across thousands of feet of atmosphere.

Man, now I wished there was more lightning in the Mistborn novels.

I just checked and it still works for me. Maybe it's only good for people in the US.
