Nature can be pretty cool sometimes.

If you get in the way of either a volcano or a lightning storm, chances are high that you’re going to have a bad time. However, put those two things together, and you’re still probably going to have a bad time, but at least the last thing you see will be really, really cool.

This storm is occurring just above a volcano, though some of the lightning is likely ground-sourced. It’s pretty mesmerizing to watch — and, if you were climbing the mountain, a sign that you should pack up shop and head the hell home.
