Volcanic eruptions are breathtaking—but with lightning, they become nature’s most electrifying spectacle! When a volcano erupts, it creates a plume, which is a mixture of hot volcanic ash, gas, and water vapour that is tightly packed together. As it ascends, tiny particles gain friction, which helps contribute to these lightning strikes. #EarthCapture at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala by Danielle Herrera 📸 #volcano #lightning #naturephotography #science | BBC Earth
