Rare optical phenomenon of Iridescence in Russia

Kazina, posted the pictures on Instagram informing her audience of the rare event she was capturing, “Rare optical phenomenon of Iridescence in Russia, Altai Mountains that shows various and unusual types of clouds.” She further explained that “these types of clouds is perhaps one of the most visually unusual and is a rather rare optical phenomenon in which very thin clouds located near the Sun are painted in spectral colours.” Kazina explained that the phenomenon happened due to the diffraction of light on drops of clouds.

She wrote, “The clouds in my shots are so thin that they resemble lace rather than ordinary clouds, the wind power at this height was high and the pattern of cloud-weaving changed every second”. However, she captured the rare phenomenon “early in the morning on the mountain of Altai Mountains which is the highest mountain of Siberia - Belukha in December.”
