Eyjafjallajökull

If I were stranded somewhere in Europe due to the ash cloud from Eyjafjallajökull, this sublime time-lapse video might make me think it was all worth it. Shot by Sean Steigemeier, this is steigeringly beautiful. It's not even clear to me where his greatest talent lay---in videography, or in the editing. His other videos, accessible here, are equally astonishing.
