Polar Stratospheric Clouds

Polar stratospheric clouds appear high in the sky in the polar regions in winter.    Photos in Iceland. Photos by @ h0rdur c/o Fabulous Weird They are composed of ice crystals and supercooled water droplets, sometimes mixed with nitric acid. Wikipedia says : “Particles within the optically thin clouds cause colored interference fringes by diffraction.”  The visibility of the colors may be enhanced with a polarising filter .” —- Thanks, Atlas Obscura and Fabulous Weird
