What if lightning didn’t last for seconds—but continued for hours?
如果闪电不是持续几秒,而是连续出现数小时,会是什么样子?
Over Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo, a phenomenon called Catatumbo Lightning can illuminate the sky throughout the night. During peak activity, there may be around 28 flashes per minute, and the storms can last for approximately nine hours.
在委内瑞拉的马拉开波湖,一种叫作“卡塔通博闪电”的自然现象可以整夜照亮天空。高峰期每分钟可能出现约28次闪光,闪电活动可持续约9个小时。
The warm, moisture-filled air above the lake meets cooler air flowing down from the surrounding mountains, creating one of Earth’s most remarkable lightning hotspots. Its reliable glow even earned it the nickname “The Lighthouse of Maracaibo.”
湖面上温暖潮湿的空气与周围山地流下的冷空气相遇,形成了地球上最著名的闪电热点之一。因为雷光明亮而规律,它甚至被称为“马拉开波灯塔”。
