Weird News: Icelandic Volcano Photo Resembles "The Scream" Painting

The "face" snapped in this photograph of Iceland's explosive Eyjafjallajokull volcano doesn't represent a new phenomena. In fact, people have been wanting to see evil face everywhere, from the World Trade Center's smoking debris on 9/11 to tornadoes and hurricanes. But this satellite image represents a frightening grimace on an epic scale, and has an amusing relationship with Evard Munch's famous painting, "The Scream." Aside from resembling that iconic rictus, an informative article from the Daily Mail shares another odd similarity:

Meanwhile, a radar image of the volcanic crater appears to show a nightmarish face, which is reminiscent of Edvard Munch's painting 'The Scream.' Coincidentally, it is thought that the masterpiece was inspired by the blood red skies caused by the powerful volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.

Yet another bizarre event with interpretations bordering on the weird and bleak. Yet another happening that suggests things about this world, or at least our own minds, that we may not care to really absorb.
