View of a nacreous cloud at sunset
Nacreous cloud. View of a nacreous cloud illuminated by the sun after it has moved below the horizon. Nacreous clouds are a rare cloud form characterised by an iridescent appearance. They are most noticeable after sunset when they are seen against a dark background, as here. They are high-altitude clouds, typically forming at around 20-25 kilometres above the ground. They are usually only visible from areas around the poles at times when stable low pressure weather systems prevail. This cloud was photographed in Finland in January 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a nacreous cloud at sunset. Illuminated by the sun after it has dipped below the horizon, this rare cloud formation exhibits an enchanting iridescent appearance that is truly awe-inspiring. Against the backdrop of darkness, these high-altitude clouds, typically found around 20-25 kilometers above ground level, create a stunning visual spectacle. Nacreous clouds are known for their unique characteristics and are most commonly observed in areas near the poles during stable low-pressure weather systems. This particular photograph was taken in Finland in January 1997, capturing nature's breathtaking display with remarkable precision. The vibrant colors and ethereal glow emanating from this nacreous cloud make it a sight to behold. Its presence against the darkening sky creates a striking contrast that adds to its allure. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how extraordinary our planet can be and how much there is still left to discover about our ever-changing climate and weather patterns. Science Photo Library brings us yet another remarkable snapshot of Earth's wonders through this print. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity that exist within our atmosphere while also igniting curiosity about meteorology and cloud formations among those who appreciate natural phenomena captured through photography.
