Also called Mountain Spectrum or Brocken Spectrum, it means that under favorable conditions, the observer’s shadow is cast over the fog. Small drops of water reflect the sunlight and form a halo of colors around the shadow.

“Rare conditions refer to the refraction and scattering of light when the sun, located behind the observer, casts its shadow on a cloud or fog below their position, and the cloud is made up of water droplets of a diameter located in a well-defined interval, ”explained the Romsilva representatives.
