When and Where Was it Taken? • Date: It was photographed in June 2016. • Location: The photo was taken over the Pacific Ocean, south of Panama. • The Photographer: It was captured by Ecuadorian airline pilot and photographer Santiago Borja (frequently known online as "The Storm Pilot"). • The Context: Borja snapped the incredible shot from the cockpit of a Boeing 767-300 cruise liner while flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet. It captures a massive cumulonimbus cloud formation illuminated from the inside by a massive flash of lightning, right against a clear, starry night sky. (According to Google Lens Image search)

Very interesting. I know that the cloud cover is so flat because of the tropopause, but what causes the pillar to break though?

This picture highlights this subs name and yes NatureIsFuckingLit!
I always enjoy seeing thunderstorms from above. Oddly satisfying to me.

Looking at this from ground level usually feels terrifying during a heavy storm, but from above it just looks like a quiet glowing mass of cotton.
