    Hey there! I saw you guys used some of my footage, but since for once someone explained it correctly, I'm okay with it :D I will soon release a short film about Catatumbo that shows the place and the lightning in various perspectives, so I hope once it's out, you'll enjoy it!

      I know this is old but its annoying when people dont credit other's work. Your footage is beautiful and im glad you came here so we can find the true source.

    Good job. Probably would help to identify that Catatumbo might also be responsible for a large portion of the Ozone layer.. that wonderful thing that protects us from the sun.

    This little region surrounded by mountains is The Great Valley from The Land Before Time series! I've finally found it!

    I’m rather surprised we don’t see setup after setup of scientific stations on the skyline around this area! I would think that this would be a fairytale come true for all those who study lightning at all! It’s beautiful regardless!

    Nice video. Very informative. The only thing I would point out is that the image of those lightnings you showed at the beginning of the video was actually taken in Greece. Nonetheless a great video with a spot on explanation.

    It's more important than that as that small area generates more ozone a year than anywhere else. The thicker the ozone layer the less radiation from the sun gets thru.

    1:37- 1:44 a lighting bolt is seen hitting one spot continuously! And it gets more violent in that one spot while its aleady been struck down! something fishy going on here? 🤔

    You're such a fan of the catatumbo lightning storms that you got the name of the lake wrong, right?
    It's MARACAIBO
    not Maracabio...
    ...Mar¡con

    Would there be a way to harvest the energy of these lightning bolts? Theyre so consistent in this place, maybe it could work?
    Imma go grab my kite and a key, brb

      @hughmungus2946 4 года назад

      It wouldn't work because there is no consistent way to store that much electricity. It would fry all the capacitors and batteries we have. It wouldnt be reliable or very efficient

    I have been there one time a year ago and I saw a good amount of lightning but not as much as this
