GSA Connection, the e-magazine of the Geological Society of America, was sent out today with a compilation of excellent blogs, news sites, and other online resources covering the eruption in Iceland. The blog post at "Starts with a Bang," for instance, offers amazing photos of lightning at the volcano, with a fascinating explanation of why the association occurs.
