my favourite beautiful natural phenomena :)



1. light pillars

source
 in very cold weather → ice crystals suspended in atmosphere → ice crystals reflect light back to us

the higher the ice crystals → the taller the light pillars

2. maelstroms

source

3. aurora
source
particles ejected on solar wind → particles channeled into atmosphere → particles and atmosphere collide → particle ionize atoms → light released
