#PPOD: Pacific Storm ⛈️
Santiago Borja Lopez is a Quito, Ecuador-based pilot with Ecuador Airlines. Whenever he is off duty, he pulls out his camera to capture the magnificent sights he witnesses in the air. From incredible storms to lightning bolts, the photos he captures are truly magnificent. Here is a colossal cumulonimbus flashing over the Pacific Ocean, captured at 37,000 Feet en route to South America.

ALT A massive cumulonimbus storm cloud rises from the lower cloud deck into the stratosphere. The image captures a lightning flash within the storm, illuminating the massive cloud structure, including its turbulent updraft and smooth, flat "anvil" top.
Double strike! Two stunning lightning bolts captured back-to-back during an incredible storm cluster over the Caribbean. Nature putting on a show! Stay tuned for the final results.
