Incredible volcanic lightning on the top of the volcano!

Volcanic lightning is a phenomenon that occurs during large volcanic eruptions. This phenomenon is associated with intense volcanic activity and arises as a result of high pressure and heat generated by a volcanic explosion.

Volcanic or volcanic lightning occurs due to strong friction between ash, salts and other airborne particles in an eruptive cloud. This friction creates a static charge that can cause a lightning discharge, just like in classic thunderstorms.
