Figure 4. View of a large boulder that has been fractured by a lightning strike, Drakensberg Mountains, Lesotho. Note the very angular and intersecting faces of the boulder, and the contrast between the gray fractured faces and the brown-red weathering rind on the boulder’s surface. The extended tape measure shows 30 cm. (Source: photo by Nasreen Mayet, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.)
