I Saw The Earth Explode: How a photographer shooting outdoor clothing camped on Iceland’s volcano – and witnessed the eruption that closed Europe... [Pics in URL]
It was a ferocious volcanic eruption that belched out tons of white-hot molten rock, sent a billowing plume of ash miles into the sky – and would lead to chaos in the airports of northern Europe.
And these astonishing pictures, taken by British freelance photographer John Beatty, record the spectacular events which took place at the now-infamous Eyjafjallajoekull (Island-Mountain-Glacier) volcano in Iceland, and which have had such a dramatic aftermath.
Mr Beatty, 58, happened to be in Iceland’s glacier fields on an assignment to take pictures for an outdoor clothing company when he found himself at the centre of the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.

Scientists believe the volcano may erupt again in the coming months.
Mr Beatty said: ‘I very much regret not being able to see the secondary explosion, although of course I was relieved to have been able to get home.’ Home is highly over rated.
