This stunning image captures the raw power of nature as volcanic lightning arcs across the sky during an eruption of Taal Volcano in Batangas, Philippines. Volcanic lightning occurs when ash particles collide, creating static electricity that discharges as bolts of lightning. This phenomenon is a vivid reminder of the Earth's dynamic and powerful forces, where both geological and atmospheric processes intertwine in a spectacular display of science.
