The remote lake where lightning strikes 1.6 million times per year - BBC REEL 

Thanks for explanation ! This sounds obvious

This is prediction

UFO underground base

I lived in a city surrounded by mountains with ocean on one side but it was cold ocean water and never got rain as a child

That actually answered my unanswered question in this clip. So I thank you

Sometimes, life can be beautiful

​@@andyroughcut4521 sometimes...

@@BRITISHFURY_1664 thats the beauty.... U realise its beautiful coz its "sometimes" and not always To experience beauty, U should witness Ugly

@@ksainathkashyap6657 indeed

I was just wondering about that ... wow!! That's magical

I think thunderstorms are beautiful, could watch all night. Wife on the other hand, hides under the sheets 😂

They haven’t a clue 😂

There are videos of it from space

It doesn’t exist

Would be cool if it truly existed outside of TV screens

Space isn't real

That seems another really good reason for USA to take over Venezuela again.

@@kurts65 I think our country has done enough damage to Venezuela already

@@gp2917 he’s trolling dumbass

I’m from Venezuela 🇻🇪 to

Venezuela economy fucked

Me, too. I love Josh and Chuck, the best podcast of all

Que bien. Saludos desde Paraguay.

You can just look for it. And leave this one without making juvenile commentary. It's called a DOCUMENTARY it never just say what you want to hear. It's a process.

I can't find any either. Odd.

​@@babakawaz8225not sure why you felt her comment was inappropriate. I'd be interested in a video like she describes too.

Me too😊​@@grantcivyt

​@@babakawaz8225 why so triggered?

In Florida lightning struck a tree in my dads backyard and the bolt traveled throughout the roots in the ground also killing two other trees. If you were standing anywhere in the backyard at the time, you would've been electrocuted. The tree is about 25 feet from the house, as soon as the bright light entered the house the sound immediately after was like a bomb going off. It about blew me out of my recliner.

@itzamia my grandmother got electrocuted in a similar manner in her teens. She lived on a farm and was trying to bring an animal in a bit late. It had already begun raining, and then lightning struck a few meters away from her. The electricity traveled through the wet ground and shocked the hell out of her. It burned her pretty bad too, they had to call a doctor to the house to verify she was ok afterwards. She claimed her memory and balance was weird for a little while after that. The event was witnessed by her siblings too, so I'm sure it's a true story.

@@1lovesoni Wow close call. Glad she was alright.

Hey question do u guys get the lighting during winter I heard it stopped for 6 weeks then came back dunno how true is was very interested though

Oui c'est incroyable et magnifique

​@@leonwatkins5072 oui clairement moi aussi le déluge des explosions des réseaux dans les villes et rue ont été incroyable aussi sur les générateur.

Nous n'avons pas eu le même spectacle en Ukraine les chose était peut être différente.

You just can't please some people. Go count the lightning strikes yourself if that'll satisfy you.

I was expecting them to explain the phenomenon.

@@michellem3050 I know but a lot of beautiful scenery during the daytime!

That’s 5285.7 strikes per day

When i read the title of the video I actually thought that's what it's about.

My thoughts exactly! :)

No existing battery could survive this onslaught. Batteries need to charge up more slowly. And even if we could design a battery that would not be vaporized by the strike, all the lightning in the world would still power only a small fraction of households.

@@skeletor6316 foreal, and BLAST HEMAN

take note Eskom

No way, according to u what else is played over there to cause that? Oh please don't tell me ur one of those dumbasses who claim that there were toxic gasses and other components like those dumped on the river that are the real reason this happens. Please just tell me u ain't one of those 😂😂😂

There's probably other places. Every lake in the tropics is a good candidate for lighting. Also, every valley in the tropics is also good, especially if it converged to a point. At lake maricaibo the conditions are just perfect. Tropics - check. Huge valley with small "exit" - check. Lake - check. There certainly is other places that are similar, but none are quite as good.

@@TaserFish-qn2xy yah now that I’m sober and read what my high self had said it makes sense that is the peak of perfect conditions for a bad ass light show. I love the way you responded btw, that was the perfect way to convey a point without being condescending or dismissive. Intelligence isn’t often seen on RU-vid comment threads.

Yes but also because in this area Venezuela has its largest deposits of oil. Actually the largest deposits of oil in the world are located here. The methane amounts that emanates from these oil reserves contributed to this phenomenon. Actually this phenomenon helps the ozone layer to heal from the pollution around the world.

@@gustavoaragon4194This seems very dubious to me. Please provide a credible source that links local methane emissions with thunderstorms. Yes, Venezuela has large oil reserves. Oil reserves that have contributed to several spills into the ocean, flaring of methane and other gases and the emission of millions of tons of CO2, further intensifying the climate problem. While there certainly good sides to oil - the times to celebrate fossil fuels have long passed. Your claim sounds strange and implausible and I could not corroborate any data in support of it with a quick web search. Please do not spread misinformation. In case there is something to it, please provide a source. Thanks.

Wow 😮

Which is also around 3 per minute. Or 1 every 20 seconds!

400.000 por día y 400. 000.000 al año

jajajaja otra vez ustedes los Narcogranadinos no se cansan?

Los relámpagos o el fenómeno como tal se produce en territorio Venezolano específicamente en el municipio Catatumbo del estado Zulia, que se puede vers desde esa parte de Colombia son dos cosas distintas

lol me

There is no explanation yet!~

It comes down to its geography

@@cat_pb then it should be mentioned in the video that the answer is still unknown, rather than leaving the viewer with empty flowery words.

Who knows if after Columbus and the Hispania sides of Rome came up to America, maybe some parts of the Aegis were brought secretly to help them navigate the Atlantic ocean. And after they discovered such amount of resources and natural treasures, they decided to hide it deep down between that lake and the river to avoid pirates stealing it. Giving origin to the Relámpago del Catatumbo after doing so. Thanks for reading, if you liked it, give it a "thumb up", don't forget to click the bell, and subscribe.

It is thought to be produced because the warm waters of the Caribbean and the cold waters from the mountains converge there. It is also, the largest producer of ozone. I love watching lighting shows so I found this phenomenon muy interesting some years ago.

You know, there's this folk all around the western world, the Gil, maybe you have watched some of them on TV, or encountered one Gil in your life. Venezuela is actually full of them, is the second country with most Gil after España: Architects, doctors, engineers, politicians, etc. Well, when you traced the history of the name back in time. It derived from Aegidius, which is "The bearer of the Aegis", The old Zeus' Shield, which he later passed on to Athena and sometimes Apollo asked for. It is said that later on Alexander the Great used it to make his army win. And that the emperor Hadrianus wore it on his clothes. From what The Illiad says about Aegis: ""When the Olympian shakes the aegis, Mount Ida is wrapped in clouds, the thunder rolls, and men are struck down with fear." Who knows if after Columbus and the Hispania sides of Rome came up to America, maybe some parts of the Aegis were brought secretly to help them navigate the Atlantic ocean. And after they discovered such amount of resources and natural treasures, they decided to hide it deep down between that lake and the river to avoid pirates stealing it.

Maybe he mistook jotunheim for midgard?

@@nurhafizahabdulaziz4579perhaps they are one in the same? Odin vowed to abolish ice giants, and i don’t know about you, but i don’t see any ice giants.

"Warm air from the Caribbean meets the cold air from the mountains, creating the perfect conditions for lightning." from google but I agree

@@ImperfectEnthusiast Thank you! See how silly that is for us that we have to seek the answer by ourselves? Instead of providing that, they just give useless info about it being acknowledged by guinness world record, like who the hell cares??

Just listened to a comprehensive explanation of it in a podcast, 'Stuff You Should Know', called Catacumbo Lightning. Great explanation, then I came here for the visuals.

Thats uknown. Thats why the phenomenom is so spectacular.

Hmm indian hai hi aise kahi bhi paunch jaate hai 😂

There are only lights , totally silent.beautiful.

@@robertoserenguetti1090 lightning bolts are never silent.

I was there a couple of times and the first time was incredible lightning every minute and completely silent. The second time was noisy maybe because it was raining, i don't know... .

@@martf1061 it's true. You don't hear them all the time. Most of the time it's just the lighting, but no sound at all.

It's the burial site of Nikola Tesla

@@gooseface2690 good one.

Scientists still don't know exactly what is the reason behind this.

Lightning comes with so much power all at once that we don’t have the batteries capable of surviving this.

I was thinking the same thing it probably is

HAHAHAHAHAH pretty apropiated dude

why the hell would you want that? "Buy the lake" what an insane thing to say lol. Let's leave some of our natural world in tact for gods sake

Thqt is the goverment property,also people have properties inside the lake

Ayooo pausee
