Volcanic lightning
Also known as “dirty thunderstorms,” this natural fireworks show occurs during volcanic eruptions when ash, rock, and ice particles combine to create a static charge, which appears as lightning strikes around the ash plume. Volcanic eruptions are rare but in recent years, photographers have managed to get some incredible footage of volcanic lightning after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption and the 2016 eruption of the Colima Volcano in Mexico.
