12K views · 777 reactions | Volcanic lightning occurs when an eruption injects millions of ash particles into the sky, each one colliding, fracturing, and building electrical charge through friction.

When the electrical field becomes strong enough, it discharges in violent lightning bursts that branch through the cloud. | AstroNature | Facebook
