This Storm, Venezuela
This blistering sight occurs in Venezuela. When warm and cold fronts meet where the river empties into Lake Maracaibo, it forms just the right conditions for this phenomenon. Nearby marshes emit methane gas, improving the electrical conductivity of the clouds, which also helps cause these extended lightning strikes which can last 10 hours.
Hair Ice, Wales
Wonder why everything other thing is happening because of bacteria? Well, here’s one more for you. This form of ice is called Haareis or hair ice. This basically happens because of the bacteria pseudomonas syringae. It results in the increased freezing temperature of the water inside the plants, and then when it escapes, it results in this.
Crooked Forest, Poland

Fallstreak Hole, New Zealand
A large elliptical gap in the sky that forms when the temperature of the clouds is below freezing point, but the water hasn’t frozen because of Ice nucleation. These ice crystals create a domino effect making them heavier and leaving a hole in the cloud.
Turquoise Ice Laka Baikal
Bearing the crown of largest fresh water lake on the entire planet, Laka Baikal contains 20% of the earth’s fresh water. It has over two thousand varieties of flora and fauna, of which almost 1,600 are endemic to the lake.
Aurora Borealis, Norway
The last, but certainly not the least, this natural phenomenon has won million hearts. Derived from the latin word “sunrise”, aurora borealis is the natural light display in the sky. The reason is charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, entering the atmosphere.
