24 days of wonder (23): Ice crystal rainbow

So very cold. I saw this beautiful jewel in the sky a few days ago (the picture doesn’t do it justice) . I’m no meteorologist but I think its formed from light refracting through ice crystals in the atmosphere to form the wonderfully named circumzenithal arc. (and circumzenithal will count as my new word for today).
