Polar Stratospheric Cloud In The Fjaorargljufur Canyon

Polar stratospheric clouds, also known as nacreous clouds or mother-of-pearl clouds, were seen in the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in Iceland on January 24, 2023. -Polar stratospheric clouds are very rare, as they occur between 49,000 and 82,000 feet up, in the stratosphere layer of the atmosphere over the Earth's poles, where very few clouds usually form due to a lack of moisture.
