Lightning in Catatumbo

Scientists are constantly wondering what is the reason why the area on Lake Maracaibo is so energetically active. Probably due to the high ozone content in this area. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. But I know that this is a very sinister place and it is not at all conducive to studying or talking on the phone. The place is therefore recommendable to all adrenaline -hungry and thunder hunters. There is also something for suicides, but it is worth taking as much electronics as possible.
