In a remote part of Venezuela, the Catatumbo River meets Lake Maracaibo. It’s a stunning location and home to one of Earth’s most extraordinary weather phenomena – the Catatumbo lightning.
It’s estimated that lightning strikes over the lake 1.6 million times per year, making it a storm chaser’s dream.
