Eternal Lightning In Venezuela

Posted by on August 21, 2011 with 0 Comments

Venezuela has one of the most bizarre things in the world, called Catatumbo. It’s a rare natural phenomenon of eternal lightning that occurs only at the mouth of the Catatumbo River, at Lake Maracaibo Catatumbo.

Mysteriously, this is a cloud lightning with bolts of 5 kilometers length. For ten hours each night for up to 160 nights per year, the lightning puts on a show like a wild Fourth of July night in America. These remarkable lightning bolts strike over 280 times per hour, with engineers reporting an intensity of 400,000 amperes. The fantastic “light show” can be seen in a radius of 400 kilometers (248.5 miles).

Many people have become lost, and very hard to find, due to the Wave. It is near the Arizona and Utah border, along the slopes of the Coyote Buttes. It is popular with hikers and photographers for its colorful, wavy forms. It is dangerous, however, because it is not only very rugged, but there is no trail leading to it.
