Hi Patty! Greetings from the top of the ice sheet in Summit, Greenland.
Mike, Gayle, and I saw a "halo" a few days ago. It looks like a rainbow circling the entire sun. It was beautiful and was caused by the sunlight bending as it traveled through the ice crystals in the atmosphere. Mike, Gayle, and I were wondering if you have seen any interesting things happening with the sun, such as halos or sun dogs. Let us know when you have a free moment. We are enjoying following your expedition! Kevin McMahon TREC Teacher Summit, Greenland |
