Mike Theiss Instagram - FEATURED PHOTO OF THE WEEK: This has to be the most amazing photo I have ever seen of volcanic lightning discharged from an erupting volcano, also known as a “Dirty Thunderstorm”. The Calbuco volcano erupted on April 22, 2015 (Earth Day) in southern Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs when fragmented particles collide in the volcanic plume and generate static electricity.

NEW: Extreme Nature will now be featuring some of the most intense and extreme videos recorded by shooters around the world. There is so much incredible content out there I want to share. The plan is to post one “featured” post a week as well as any photos and video I shoot on future chases.
Mike Theiss Instagram - Totality !! The Great Solar Eclipse of 2017 was one of the most incredible events I have ever witnessed !! We observed 100% totality in central Wyoming for over 2 minutes with clear skies and all smiles :) We could feel a significant temperature drop during totality. Nature is so cool !!
.
Sorry the live stream didn't succeed. Unfortunately, all data and cellphone reception failed a few minutes before totality began. I was really looking forwarded to streaming this live to everyone.
.
Special thanks @CanonUSA for providing the needed camera equipment to make this photo shoot possible. This photo was captured using a Canon 1Dx camera with a Canon L-series 400mm zoom lens. Settings used (ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/13 sec) #teamcanon

Mike Theiss Instagram - (Dashcam capture) While storm chasing in tornado alley my Garmin dashcam captured a rare phenomenon called "upward-moving" lightning, also known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning. I witnessed this TV tower get struck 3 times in a 10 minute span. The third strike occurred when I was close to the tower and it was truly incredible. The lightning shot straight up from the tip of the tower and branched out like a tree up into the clouds and flashed several times before it finally discharged all its energy.

Mike Theiss Instagram - (Video) Incredible rare encounter with dozens of spotted eagle rays while snorkeling at white banks coral reef with @Sundiver Snorkel Tours in #KeyLargo, Florida. Typically if you have an encounter with a spotted eagle ray it’s swimming alone but during mating season you could see dozens of them swimming together and chasing each other around the reef and sometimes they even jump out of the water. You never know what you might see while snorkeling. Book your next snorkel adventure today with @Sundiver Snorkel Tours in Key Largo.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Paradise 🌴☀️ Dreaming of visiting #SandalsEmeraldBay Resort again in the near future. Most of the aerial images we shot around the #Bahamas look like paintings !! The Exumas are an archipelago of 365 cays and islands divided into three major areas, Great Exuma, Little Exuma and The Exuma Cays. Each island offers its own unique Bahamian experience.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Exclusive #EarthDay video: Photographers David Wilson and Mike Theiss from Sundiver Snorkel Tours went on a mission to document marine life at the reefs after weeks of quarantined conditions due to the Covid-19 virus. Some of the coral reefs offshore of #KeyLargo haven’t experienced boat traffic nor human visitors for many weeks. Will this help our chances of documenting the elusive spotted eagle ray ? We used drones to monitor the area and within minutes discovered a large group of several dozen spotted eagle rays, also known as a “fever”. We were able to track the eagle rays with drones and quickly deployed into the water and snorkeled right up next to the them. They were beautiful and looked like birds flying under the water. Mission accomplished!

Special Thanks to @Sundiver for making all this possible. When the quarantine conditions are lifted and it’s safe to travel again, head down to Key Largo, Florida to see this amazing marine life in person while snorkeling with Sundiver Snorkel Tours www.SnorkelTickets.com

Mike Theiss Instagram - Welcome to the Florida Keys, Home to the most scenic and beautiful highway in the world !! The Overseas Highway is a 113-mile roadway carrying U.S. Route 1 (US-1) through the islands of the Florida Keys. Large parts of the highway were built on the former land used for the Overseas Railroad, Completed in 1912 by Henry Flagler, the Overseas Railroad was heavily damaged and destroyed during the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. The Florida East Coast Railway was financially unable to rebuild the destroyed sections, so the roadbed and remaining bridges were sold to the state of Florida for $640,000.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Best assignment ever !! A few years ago I was camping alone on top of the Kilauea volcano with a sky full of stars. I have never felt more connected to mother earth in my life. The glowing red in the cracks is a river of scorching hot molten lava flowing underneath my campsite and the red glow on the horizon is where the lava is dripping and oozing into the Pacific Ocean.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Intense supercell thunderstorm with multiple lightning bolts striking the ground at the same time in Kansas after a long day of storm chasing. The sound was so loud it left my ears ringing for over an hour. Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of the planet. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, referred to as a "strike" if it hits an object on the ground.

The chicks of the king penguin are covered in a brown down and sometimes referred to as “oakum boys” because of the resemblance to the youths who packed the seams of wooden boats with oakum, a tarred fibre, to make them watertight, wisps of the oakum stuck to them, so they were brown and fluffy and early seamen thought the king penguin chicks looked the same.

Mike Theiss Instagram - (On assignment @SandalsResorts) Snorkeling inside the Thunderball Grotto cave with @IslandRoutes in Exuma, Bahamas. This underwater cave system is great for snorkeling and diving. It has an abundance of exotic marine life and a wide variety of brilliantly colored corals and fish. The grotto's mystique is heightened by the small, almost hidden entrance. It is advised to enter at low or slack tide. At high tide, diving equipment is necessary. The grotto got its name from the 1965 James Bond spy film "Thunderball," which was shot there. It was also the site of James Bond film, "Never Say Never Again" in 1983, also based on the Thunderball novel. #LiveFunner Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

They are marked by their dense underfur, which made them a long time object of commercial hunting. Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss Instagram - (On assignment with @LindbladExp) We encountered many types of penguins on this expedition to the South Georgia islands and one of my favorites and most photogenic is the macaroni penguin. We hiked up a steep hill through thick tussock grass at Cooper Bay to reach a large macaroni penguin colony to capture this shot. Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss Instagram - Amazing encounter with nature !! We were lucky enough to observe infant green monkeys feeding and being carried around the Barbados Wildlife Reserve by their mothers. As the infant matures and becomes more independent, it will stray from its mother, being carried only when the troop moves or when danger threatens. Infants often appear blue in color, as they have little fur when they are born. However, as they mature, they develop a thick fur that is brownish-grey in colour with specks of yellow and olive green. In some lighting, the fur has an overall green appearance and is why they were named “green monkey”. Photo by Mike Theiss @sandalsresorts @islandroutes #LiveFunner

Mike Theiss Instagram - (On assignment @SandalsResorts) Snorkeling through the hidden entrance of Thunderball Grotto with @IslandRoutes located just west of Staniel Cay in Exuma, Bahamas. This underwater cave system is great for snorkeling and diving. It has an abundance of exotic marine life and a large variety of brilliantly colored corals and fish. The grotto's mystique is heightened by the small, almost hidden entrance. It is advised to enter at low or slack tide. At high tide, diving equipment is necessary. The grotto got its name from the 1965 James Bond spy film "Thunderball," which was shot there. It was also the site of another James Bond film, "Never Say Never Again" in 1983, also based on the Thunderball novel. #LiveFunner Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

The Calbuco volcano erupted on April 22, 2015 (Earth Day) in southern Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs when fragmented particles collide in the volcanic plume and generate static electricity.

Mike Theiss - 25.1K Likes - (Dashcam capture) While storm chasing in tornado alley my Garmin dashcam captured a rare phenomenon called "upward-moving" lightning, also known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning. I witnessed this TV tower get struck 3 times in a 10 minute span. The third strike occurred when I was close to the tower and it was truly incredible. The lightning shot straight up from the tip of the tower and branched out like a tree up into the clouds and flashed several times before it finally discharged all its energy.

Mike Theiss - 17.7K Likes - Exclusive #EarthDay video: Photographers David Wilson and Mike Theiss from Sundiver Snorkel Tours went on a mission to document marine life at the reefs after weeks of quarantined conditions due to the Covid-19 virus. Some of the coral reefs offshore of #KeyLargo haven’t experienced boat traffic nor human visitors for many weeks. Will this help our chances of documenting the elusive spotted eagle ray ? We used drones to monitor the area and within minutes discovered a large group of several dozen spotted eagle rays, also known as a “fever”. We were able to track the eagle rays with drones and quickly deployed into the water and snorkeled right up next to the them. They were beautiful and looked like birds flying under the water. Mission accomplished!

Mike Theiss - 8.8K Likes - (On assignment with @LindbladExp) (SLIDESHOW) We encountered a large king penguin colony with many baby chicks at Gold Harbour in the South Georgia islands. When first born, the baby king penguin has a very warm brown coat. After roughly 12 months, the youngling will go through its first moult. The baby penguin loses its brown coat, which gives way to the signature look of an adult penguin. Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss - 7.7K Likes - Intense supercell thunderstorm with multiple lightning bolts striking the ground at the same time in Kansas after a long day of storm chasing. The sound was so loud it left my ears ringing for over an hour. Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of the planet. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, referred to as a "strike" if it hits an object on the ground.

Mike Theiss - 6.2K Likes - (On assignment @SandalsResorts) SLIDESHOW from swimming with sea turtles in Exuma, Bahamas with @IslandRoutes. Everyone and everything is trying to catch a ride out to the reef, even the remoras, sometimes called suckerfish, create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats but most commonly found attached to other organisms like sharks and turtles. Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss - 6K Likes - (On assignment @SandalsResorts) Snorkeling inside the Thunderball Grotto cave with @IslandRoutes in Exuma, Bahamas. This underwater cave system is great for snorkeling and diving. It has an abundance of exotic marine life and a wide variety of brilliantly colored corals and fish. The grotto's mystique is heightened by the small, almost hidden entrance. It is advised to enter at low or slack tide. At high tide, diving equipment is necessary. The grotto got its name from the 1965 James Bond spy film "Thunderball," which was shot there. It was also the site of James Bond film, "Never Say Never Again" in 1983, also based on the Thunderball novel. #LiveFunner Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss - 5.6K Likes - Amazing encounter with nature !! We were lucky enough to observe infant green monkeys feeding and being carried around the Barbados Wildlife Reserve by their mothers. As the infant matures and becomes more independent, it will stray from its mother, being carried only when the troop moves or when danger threatens. Infants often appear blue in color, as they have little fur when they are born. However, as they mature, they develop a thick fur that is brownish-grey in colour with specks of yellow and olive green. In some lighting, the fur has an overall green appearance and is why they were named “green monkey”. Photo by Mike Theiss @sandalsresorts @islandroutes #LiveFunner
