A “tentacle” of lightning stretches over Japan in a long-exposure picture taken
Thursday (Jan. 27, 2011) of the ash plume rising from Shinmoedake peak, one of
the calderas of the Kirishima volcano complex. Shinmoedake began erupting
Wednesday, coating nearby villages and farms with ash and prompting authorities
to ask for voluntary evacuations within a 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) radius.
