Catatumbo, the place to be for lightning lovers

  • Catatumbo sky and lightning
Nights in Catatumbo are spectacular
 

For those looking for a shocking and electrifying lights show, Catatumbo lightning in Venezuela deserves a thundering applause. This atmospheric phenomenon tends to appear over the Catatumbo river delta most of the nights around the year and from the evening to the dawn, and consists of a mass of storm clouds that can let out up more than one million lightning strikes per year. It's unclear as to why it occurs, but beautiful nonetheless.
