Photographer Martin Rietze travels around the world in pursuit of Earth’s greatest fiery spectacle volcanoes.
During the shoot he captured some incredible lightening storms that are known to accompany volcanic eruptions.
How lightning forms in general is still debated among scientists, and volcanic lightning is even less well understood.
Other volcanic lightning episodes may be facilitated by charge-inducing collisions in volcanic dust.
But he cautioned: When you get this shut the camera equipment ages instantly.
Sulphuric gasses and acids can destroy the electronics and lens coatings very quickly.
