This is 'Relampago del Catatumbo' or 'Catatumbo lightning'.
It's only found in one remote part of Venezuela
and only accessible by boat along a route largely populated by wildlife.
A three-hour journey from Puerto Concha,
The lightning occurs above an area where the Catatumbo River meets Lake Maracaibo.
Average temperatures here can hit above 32C all year round.
Some of the nearest human neighbours to this amazing display
are in a village built on stilts called a Ologa.
Nasa has since declared it Earth's 'lightning capital'.
Catatumbo's 250 lightning flashes per square kilometre every year equates
to a staggering total of 1.6 million bolts of lightning annually.
Most experts estimate that lightning strikes over Catatumbo
roughly 140 to 160 nights a year,
with flashes often visible for seven to ten hours per night.
If the elements could write poetry across the sky,
it would surely look like this.
