Default Photographer captures rare ice halo phenomena in New Mexico



Quote:
A rare and complex ice halo appeared in the sky above New Mexico on Friday, as a record breaking arctic blast continued to make its way across the country.


The optical phenomenon was photographed above the town of Red River, which has experienced sub-zero temperatures in recent days, according to the Daily Mail. Ice crystals suspended in the air interact with sunlight, creating a dazzling display of rings and arcs. The halos can be created either by sunlight or moonlight, and often occur within 24 hours before precipitation is expected.

Joshua Thomas, a photographer from Texas, captured the image of the New Mexico ice halo, according to UPI. The U.S. National Weather Service of La Crosse, Wisconsin, then utilized Thomas’ photo to create an informational diagram that points out each of the components of the ice halo.
