Amazing solar halo in the mountains of Sheregesh caught on video

An unusual optical phenomenon that Russians noticed in the mountains of Sheregesh caught on camera and surprised users on the network. The video was published by the group "Instructors. Shereshesh" in "VKontakte".

The footage shows the halo effect — an optical natural phenomenon during which a luminous ring appears around the Sun. The halo looks like a rainbow, but if in summer the light is reflected in water crystals, then in winter it is reflected in ice particles. For this effect to occur, frosts and high humidity are necessary, at which crystals of frozen water accumulate in the air.

"The halo effect, the view from the Dollar highway now," the account administrators signed the post, which has gained more than 13.8 thousand views. The video aroused the admiration and surprise of the subscribers of the community, which they began to write about in the comments. "Beautiful", "How beautiful", "Just mesmerizing", "An incredibly beautiful sight. I would really like to see it live," they said.
