Fogbow and snowy landscape C016 / 5820
Fogbow and snowy landscape. Cross-country skiers passing by frosted trees with a fogbow visible at upper right. Fogbows occur when the water droplets in the air are less than half a millimetre in size. It is similar to a rainbow but is white because of the smallness of the water droplets that cause fog. Photographed on Mount Luosto, northern Finland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the enchanting beauty of a wintry wonderland in northern Finland. Against a backdrop of snowy landscapes, cross-country skiers gracefully glide past frosted trees, creating an ethereal scene that is straight out of a fairytale. But what truly makes this image extraordinary is the presence of a rare meteorological phenomenon known as a fogbow. Visible at the upper right corner, the fogbow adds an otherworldly touch to this already mesmerizing composition. Unlike its colorful counterpart, the rainbow, fogbows appear white due to the minuscule size of water droplets in the air that cause fog. This optical marvel occurs when these tiny droplets measure less than half a millimeter and create diffraction patterns. Photographed on Mount Luosto during February, this picture showcases not only nature's splendor but also human resilience and exploration. The skiers bravely venture through icy terrain and frost-covered forests, embodying both physical prowess and adventurous spirit. As tourists immerse themselves in this geographical gem nestled within Scandinavia's polar region, they witness firsthand the captivating interplay between atmospheric phenomena and stunning landscapes. With every step taken on their ski trip, visitors become part of an awe-inspiring tableau where winter's icy embrace meets untouched natural beauty. Dr Juerg Alean from Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time—a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic brilliance—inviting us all to appreciate Earth's wonders through his lens.
