Holes in the clouds, lava on the beach, rainbow waterfalls or flower deserts… are unique natural phenomena that only appear once every dozen or even hundreds of years.

Sometimes nature brings us natural phenomena with special effects similar to those of Hollywood blockbusters. And if a “spontaneous sighting” like this happens, you can consider yourself lucky, because most of them require particularly strict conditions to form. Some of them might even make us wonder if we are on another planet.

1. Comet Hale Bopp seen over the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge

Comet Hale-Bop orbited the Sun in 1997 and became one of the brightest comets in history. It is a gift from heaven, since it can be observed with the naked eye for more than 18 months.

2. Hole in the cloud: a door to heaven?

Imagine that it is a very cold day and the horizon is filled with dense clouds. Suddenly, you see a big hole where you can see the sky through it. This is not the beginning of the appearance of UFOs, it is called a vent or hole in the cloud. This phenomenon occurs when a large number of small ice crystals break up in the cloud layer, causing water droplets to evaporate. It’s all physics, but it’s incredibly magical.

3. A mist arch that looks like an albino rainbow.

When you see this rainbow, you may think that you have lost the ability to distinguish colors. Keep calm and enjoy, because a fog arch is like an albino rainbow. Instead of being made up of water droplets, it is made up of small fog droplets. Being smaller, they only reflect the white, giving us a kind of creepy and mysterious image.

4. It’s not waves, it’s lava on a Hawaiian beach

In May 2018, the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii exploded. It spewed ash miles away and spewed thick fountains of lava into the Pacific Ocean. The lava traveled great distances and destroyed Hawaii’s largest natural freshwater lake. It also shot up to the beaches, filling Kapoho Bay and extending a new landmass nearly a mile long into the ocean.

5. The comet flew close to the Sun in 1976.

Comet West was described as one of the brightest objects to pass through the inner solar system in 1976. Its nucleus split into four pieces, providing a spectacular view of its long tail. At the time, this was one of the few comet breakups observed from Earth.

6. Pyroclastic flows create volcanic lightning.

Seeing a volcano erupt is a rare thing, but another extraordinary event can add to the uniqueness of this sight. When a volcano erupts, it releases a pyroclastic flow, a fast-moving stream of hot gas and ash. Sometimes the power it creates causes things to stick together, combined with extremely high temperatures, creating an incredible light show.

7. Rare rainbow waterfall in Yosemite National Park

Only a lucky few were able to witness this scene live in Yosemite National Park, when the waterfall turned into a rainbow. This is an excellent example of a situation where sunlight reflects off water droplets under special circumstances. It looks like Photoshop, but it’s the work of Mother Nature.

8. Frozen waves on the Croatian coast

A strong storm dumped waves onto the coast and then quickly froze them to sub-zero temperatures in 2012. Ocean waves crashed into benches and lampposts on the boardwalk surrounding the beach and froze on impact. This has left the coast of Senj, Croatia, covered in hard sheets of ice that look like frozen.

9. The desert is filled with fresh flowers.

California desert “super blooms” typically occur every 10 years. It requires a variety of conditions such as: constant rain, warm temperatures and weak winds. At that time, the desert will become a colorful picture with thousands of wildflowers blooming at the same time. A great gift for everyone.

10. Solar pillar on sea ice

The reflection of light on small ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere can create a solar plume. If the light comes from a sunset, this event can “freeze” us in a beautiful moment.

11. A supergiant blood moon emerged behind the Parthenon in 2018

A total lunar eclipse combined with a supermoon is a relatively rare phenomenon. In the 21st century there were 87 total lunar eclipses, of which only 28 were supermoons. In 2018, skywatchers were able to see a supermoon and solar eclipse combined for the first time in decades, bathing the moon in fiery red light.

12. Iridescent clouds

If we see the sky shining as if there were giant soap bubbles floating in it, we are not having a hallucination, but rather an opportunity to witness iridescent clouds. This unusual effect only occurs when very uniform water droplets diffract evening light.

13. The Himalayas appear for the first time in 30 years.

In April 2020, a sharp drop in pollution levels caused a realistic image of the Dhauladhar Mountains to appear resplendent in the eyes of people living 213 kilometers away, something unprecedented in decades.

14. Snow falls in spring in Tokyo

Seeing snow in Tokyo, Japan is nothing special, but what makes it really surprising is that it happened in April, when the cherry trees are in full bloom. In Tokyo it snows about 7.6 times per season, mainly in January and February. And this year 2020 was the first spring snowfall in 32 years.

15. Midnight Sunset

During the summer months in Iceland, the sun is still visible at midnight local time. And you can witness a sunset at 1:30 am. And if you look at this moment at the height of 60 meters of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, it will be extremely impressive.
