Well, det er i grunnen ikke noe som heter ‘regnbue-skyer’, men fargene stemmer jo, og et litt uvanlig navn var påkrevet! Men – fargespekteret hører jo en regnbue til?! Dette er også såkalte ‘perlemorskyer’, men denne gang hadde jeg et litt bedre kamera for hånden . . .
Det er likevel et eldre bilde, og – dessverre – en anelse mindre enn de vanlige på denne bloggen.
Well, actually there’s no such thing as ‘rainbow clouds’ 🙂 , but in need of a catchy name and with colors matching the spectre of a rainbow – so be it!
This is also a so called ‘mother-of-pearl’-cloud, but fortunately – on this occasion I was equipped with a somewhat better camera.
Still it’s an old picture and unfortunately a bit smaller than usual on this blog.

These colors are due to ice chrystals in the Cirrus clouds at very high altituds
(above 30 000 feet)

Hi, Hester –
I think you need to approach the arctic zones where the air is colder. In Scandinavia you may also see those kind of clouds through the winter season (like here).
These clouds are actually ice chrystals very high up into the atmosphere.
‘High’ in this setting would mean in excess of 30 000 feet!

Yes, I think you’re right. This seems to be a relatively thin layer of ice chrystals up there . . .
