A picture of Hell.....or the closest you can get without dying :-)
with this image of volcanic lightning.....
by:Francisco Negroni of Chile...... winner of....
the Earth's Environments category.....in Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest!
(
After the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex began erupting.......
Negroni travelled to Puyehue National Park in southern Chile.....
where He watched..... as flashes of lightning lacerated the sky.....
and the glow from the molten lava lit up the smoke..... billowing upwards illuminating the landscape!!!
well...if that does not look like HELL....i dont know what does?
scientific explanation =
Volcanic lightning (also known as a "dirty thunderstorm").........
is a rare, short‑lived phenomenon......
probably caused by the static electrical charges resulting from the crashing together of fragments of red‑hot rock...
ash and vapour high inside the volcanic plume.....
anyway.....Francisco!...what a picture!!!
enjoy!
