PILLARS OF NORTHERN LIGHTS BY OLIVIER JARRY-LACOMBE
PILLARS OF NORTHERN LIGHTS! Recent solar activity across the Arctic regions has afforded some exceptional aerial phenomena caused by ice fog. Light pillars were spotted in the skies above Karesuvanto in Finland and Kiruna in Sweden this week.
Photographer, Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, “Sometimes, a thin layer of ice fog is present and it is then that an exceptional phenomenon can occur that is only visible in the Arctic or Antarctic polar territory, known as light pillars. A light pillar or ice pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and sometimes below a light source, over the entire height of the ice cloud.”
“The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere or that make up high-altitude clouds. Pillars of light can be caused by the Sun, Moon or terrestrial sources, such as street lights, vehicles and illuminated signs. And when you are very lucky, auroras and pillars of light come together for an exceptional spectacle.” (FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS)
