Wow, I wonder what the people here did to piss off the elements so much ?????

I've been trying to find information on this photo all morning! I saw it earlier, but there was no source! So thank you!

Your source links to National Geographic, who has the explanation and background (for anyone wanting the details): http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/05/photogalleries/volcano-photos/index.html
