Stack of lenticular clouds over Mauna Kea, Hawaii
Lenticular clouds. Stack of lenticular clouds, named for their smooth lens-like shapes, seen over a mountain. Lenticular clouds often occur in vertical piles or stacks as here. They are produced when moist air ascends over a mountain, and air waves form on the lee side of the mountain. As the wind rises and moisture is present in the air lenticular clouds rise up. If alternate layers of moist and dry air are present, the clouds form into a stack. Photographed over the Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii, from Waimea, after a storm on 29 December 1996. The summit of Mauna Kea is 4205 metres above sea level

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing sight over the majestic Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii. A stack of lenticular clouds, known for their smooth and lens-like shapes, dominates the sky above the mountain. Lenticular clouds often form in vertical piles or stacks, as seen here, when moist air ascends over a mountain and creates air waves on its lee side. The beauty of these unique cloud formations lies in their ability to rise up when wind currents intensify and moisture is present in the air. When alternating layers of moist and dry air exist, these clouds take on a stacked appearance that adds to their allure. Photographed from Waimea after a storm on 29 December 1996, this image showcases nature's artistic prowess against the backdrop of Mauna Kea's summit towering at an impressive 4205 meters above sea level. The interplay between mountainous terrain and atmospheric conditions gives birth to such captivating cloud forms. As we delve into meteorology and explore different cloud types, this photograph serves as a reminder of how intricately connected our climate is with geographical features like mountains. It also highlights the awe-inspiring wonders that can be found within our atmosphere if we pause to appreciate them.
