polar #stratospheric #clouds over #Iceland

Polar stratospheric ice clouds (naked clouds) form at temperatures below the ice sublimation point, usually around −85 °C, a temperature lower than the average temperature of the lower stratosphere.'

Recap from last night! Last night was a blessing from the heavens with spectacular shows seen all over. Congrats to all with a successful hunt. Stay tuned for tonight’s hunt recommendation. 2.3.2024, Iceland

The fourth eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula started at 22:17 this evening. I anticipate a long night and lots of #GIS work here at the Icelandic Met Office.
