Super-charged volcanic ash cloud sparks lightning
Nature has been captured spitting out lightning bolts and forking them down a super-charged ash cloud and into the heart of a volcano in Patagonia
This stunning but rare phenomenon only occurs when huge amounts of positively charged ash debris are thrown into the air.
The footage was captured in the southern South America by a BBC journalist who claims that the power of one eruption "is equal to one Hiroshima-sized nuclear bomb every ten seconds."
It's only the second time that rhyolite – a particularly thick and explosive kind of magma – had erupted on Earth in the last 50 years, BBC reported.
This striking display provides scientists and researchers with new insights into these dangerous eruptions.
Youtube users are intrigued by the phenomena and one man claims he can see a man standing in the ash cloud.
Mother nature has provided Yahoo7 with more striking videos from across the globe.
