Voltaic

The northwestern part of Venezuela is home to the most concentrated, most regular lightening storm anywhere, ever.  Apparently (as I haven't yet been to see for myself, but I am running a speedy internal brainstorming of funding schemes in order to stake this wonder out for myself).  The "Beacon of Maracaibo," is what old time sailors called the lightning that flashes over Catatumbo for up to 10 hours a night, 260 nights a year.  That ozone inducing figure again is 10 HOURS EVERY NIGHT FOR 260 NIGHTS EVERY FREAKIN' YEAR.  That is a lot (LOT) of lightning.

Lightning could certainly personify elusivity.  This blog professes to know very little, in fact, nothing, about lightning except for the undeniable fact that it's utterly awesome.  So, according to a bit of research, lightning, as it tears through the sky, breaks up oxygen molecules.  When these molecules rearrange themselves, ozone is the result.  So, Catatumbo's storms have been touted as responsible for creating a lot of ozone.

The surrounding mountain range is a V-shape which facilitates the meeting of warm Caribbean winds to cool Andes gusts.  In addition, the area sits on a ton of oil, so where there is oil there is also methane.  The combo of this mountain situation and the methane, apparently, nearly adds up to what may be dubbed the perfect storm.  Like many entities under the banner of perfection, access is pretty limited.  In addition to the geographical uniqueness of the area, it also borders Bogota, and to find someone to take you for a boat ride onto the lake (where the spectacle would be truly spectacular) is next to impossible because a large majority of the South American criminal sect utilize the lake (and adjoining river) for transporting...(lightning souvenirs, probably).

Life sometimes can be voltaic.
