Although scientists cannot agree on exactly what causes volcano lightning, they all concur that the effect is totally badass.

I've seen quite a few pictures of volcano lightning before, but none that can compare to that first link.

Surely that must be a time-lapse shot, or multiple exposures? That enclosing mesh of lightning seems way too intense for a single short exposure.

yeah i thought that as well, in some of the shots you can see blur on what i think are stars? that would suggest a time lapse shot
