That’s pretty cool (no pun intended)! I‘ve seen pictures of those in Antarctica books - must be pretty cold up there. Thanks for sharing.

It was minus 22 C (-8 F) I believe.

That's a good one. I've seen sun dogs before, but rarely this prominent.

That's a fine example of a sun halo. I've only seen one like it once. Great capture!

For those interested, M. Minnaert's book "The Nature of Light and Color in the Open Air" is a classic. Published in 1954, it is still available at Amazon.
