."I opened the door of the room and saw this show in the sky. It looked like a painting!"Rebecca Paviola/Instagramare a rare atmospheric phenomenon that form under extremely cold temperatures—below minus 108 degrees F—in the stratosphere, between 49,000 and 82,000 feet above the ground.
Very few clouds form at these heights as there is relatively little moisture there, which is why this phenomenon is so unusual."I never saw a similar show," Paviola said. Seasoned storm chaser, Paul Botten, also saw the light display for the first time, in Sommarøy, Norway, over 300 miles away from Lake Inari."They were so beautiful to see," he toldDuring a typical Arctic winter, polar stratospheric clouds appear no more than two or three times. The phenomenon occurs when trace amounts of water in the stratosphere coalesce to form tiny ice crystals, which drift into thin, wispy clouds.
The colors are most visible at sunrise and sunset, when the clouds beneath have gone gray. Paviola said that the light show was visible for about two hours during sunrise where she was staying in Finland.
