Are you a creative person and are in search of inspiration? Or the last few days caught myself thinking that I want to see something so unique and memorable?
Then know that this article will become for you a breath of fresh air, a cup of the Grail, which everyone has been looking for. In general, take a cup with your favorite drink, sit back and enjoy unique frames.
1. Katalumbo is a state in which thunder and lightning rule.
Venezuela is known for a lot of thunderstorm days. Over the years, the Maracayo Lake has attracted lightning. Their intensity surprises even experienced scientists. Imagine only that they last 150 days a year here, and sometimes 10 hours a day. It's incredible, but being in this area, you will not hear thunder, and besides, the lightning itself very, very rarely reaches the ground. You can see it from a distance of up to 400 km. And the authorities of Catatumbo strive to make lightning the first natural phenomenon included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
2. Amazing around us - mother-of-pearl clouds.
If in most cases, this can be seen on the canvases of artists or on the photographs of those who masterfully own Photoshop, then in Scotland this phenomenon has long become something ordinary. The reason is that the clouds have such a unique color scheme, lies in their location in the stratosphere. And you can see them only during the twilight period. True, this beauty bears a destructive character for our entire Earth. It turns out that a pearlescent phenomenon contributes to a chemical reaction that destroys the ozone layer (not only drops of water, but also nitric acid are part of these clouds).
3. A fiery rainbow.
Scientifically, it is called a "round-horizontal arc". This is one of the halo species. It always occurs against the background of cirrus clouds in dry weather and only when the ice crystals contained in the clouds are horizontally oriented to refract the sun's rays. These rays pass through the vertical side wall of the flat crystal and come out from the lower horizontal side. As a result, we get a spectral separation of colors, due to which there is a phenomenon that we are accustomed to call a rainbow.
4. Sun dogs or the false sun.
It is unclear why this natural phenomenon began to be called "solar dogs", but it occurs only in the winter season. By the way, you can meet the concept of Parghelia - this is also a false sun. It occurs when the ice crystals in the atmosphere create the effect of two or even three suns on either side of the real star.
5. Unique striped icebergs.
In the open spaces of the Arctic you can see icebergs decorated with colorful stripes (often white and blue). All this is caused by climatic changes. So, the more often the iceberg melt, and then freeze again, the more it will have such bands. At different times of the year, ice bands acquire different shades. It depends on the hit of different particles in the water. In the process of its freezing, algae, sand, dirt and even the remains of bones, flesh of sea animals, feathers and fur are frozen along with it. That's why the ice can be a yellowish shade, brown, dark green and blue with blue.
6. Fiery whirlwind, capable of frightening even the bravest.
He only acts a couple of minutes, but during this time he can do a lot of harm. A fiery whirlwind is formed as a result of combining various fires in one powerful fire. So, over the formed fire the air heats up, and its density decreases. This leads to the fact that it rises up. From below, cold air masses arrive, which eventually also heat up. As we see, we get fiery tornadoes, able to tear themselves away from the earth to a height of 5 km.
7. Migration of butterflies monarch - something that everyone should see.
It is one of the most famous North American butterflies. This beauty has bright orange-red wings with veins of black color and white spots along the edges. Every autumn millions of these butterflies migrate to wintering from Canada to the south, to California and Mexico, and in the summer they return to the north, to Canada.
This is the only insect that, like birds, migrates regularly from north to south. But the most surprising thing is that no butterfly does a complete journey. This is because her life is too short, and for the entire migration period there are 3 to 4 generations of beautiful moths. In addition, they are one of the few insects that can cross the Atlantic. Before migration, these unique creatures gather in huge colonies on coniferous trees, and clothe them so that they become orange.
