Wits team shows how lightning shapes mountains
South African scientists at Wits University in Johannesburg have been featured in
National Geographic for their "shocking" work that shows that it is lightning - rather
than ice and heat - that is the main force shaping the Drakensberg summits.
Wits unit aims to demystify lightning
Researchers at Wits University in Johannesburg - the self-proclaimed lightning
capital of the world - are conducting experiments to understand how the human
body reacts to a strike, something they hope will help reduce the number
of lighting-related deaths. Their work has been featured by National Geographic.
