Rare Rainbow Clouds Appear in Iceland Thanks To Freezing Temperatures

Mymodernmet.com

A rare rainbow cloud event occurred in Iceland as record cold sparked polar stratospheric clouds in daylight.
Photographer Jónína Guðrún Óskarsdóttir captured the moment, documenting it alongside her landscape work.
PSC colors arise when sunlight refracts through ice crystals formed in frigid stratospheric air.
Nacreous variants, also called mother-of-pearl clouds, need even colder temperatures to form.
The photographer says she often sees colorful clouds two or three times a year.
The moment occurred toward the end of January during an exceptionally cold spell.
Óskarsdóttir photographs to decompress from her demanding nursing job at a small healthcare center.
The feature was shared with My Modern Met, which granted permission to publish Óskarsdóttir’s photos.
The event followed a trend of dramatic sky phenomena highlighted on My Modern Met’s related articles.
The article explains PSCs form when very cold air causes water vapor to crystallize into ice.

Hiker, 21, who tried to climb California’s Mt. Whitney on his birthday has been missing for a month as grim clues emerge

Nypost.com and 2 more

A month into the search for Brambila, investigators note how time is running out as winter conditions hinder recovery efforts on Mt. Whitney.
The new reference confirms Brambila reportedly glissaded down a snowy slope, a maneuver his last seen companion suggested he planned to attempt.
Witness accounts underline that Brambila appeared prepared and confident before the descent, aligning with the original article’s focus on a determined solo ascent.
Mt. Whitney remains the Sierra Nevada's highest peak at 14,505 feet, a detail that contextualizes the risks Brambila faced.
The reference notes that glissading, while saving time, is a leading cause of serious injury or death when done improperly, adding a safety dimension to Brambila’s action.
Family involvement remains active, with Brambila’s relatives receiving ongoing support from the Fowler-O'Sullivan Foundation as searches extend into winter.
Brambila’s girlfriend describes him as careful and connected to nature, often disconnecting from the world yet still recording for vlogs—an aspect that aligns with his public persona.
The last confirmed sighting and interaction occurred near Trail Crest, where Brambila and a fellow hiker exchanged moments before the descent.
Official search status remains unresolved with no remains recovered, leaving questions about the exact cause of death and the outcome of Brambila’s expedition.
The Los Angeles Times article emphasizes time sensitivity and the mounting likelihood that recovery may be unfeasible until spring, mirroring the original piece’s emphasis on seasonal hazards.
