Volcanic lightning is caused by collisions between ash particles and rock fragments that build up electrical charge through friction - similar to hailstones in a storm cloud. | Earth Uncut TV with James Reynolds | Facebook

Incredible footage of volcanic eruption of a dormant volcano in Ethiopia from a commercial plane. 🌋 The dormant giant exploded with a towering ash column, pyroclastic clouds, and volcanic lightning ripping through the plume like threads of white fire. The entire scene was illuminated by the rising sun… turning destruction into something surreal and almost otherworldly. A moment no one on that plane will ever forget and one the world has never seen until now. ✈️ | Otherworld Earth
