Solar Pillar

Last night as the sun was setting, we looked outside and noticed that the icebergs were a strange colour, almost a translucent blue.

We decided to go outside to investigate further, and discovered that a solar pillar had formed. It has something to do with the atmospheric conditions, and is seen as the sun is setting. The light from the sun seems to shoot up into the sky, like a pillar (hence the name). It is very beautiful thing to see. The colours that are caused by it are amazing
