Light Pillars Loom Over Frosty Night Skies

Thin, colorful ice pillars appear in the night sky above Ruka, Finland. This stunning visual phenomenon occurs when light reflects off horizontally-faced ice crystals hovering in the air. The pillars, which are often mistaken for UFO sightings, are produced by sunlight, moonlight or artificial manmade light situated along the horizon. Like auroras, this beautiful light display is only visible in the coldest regions of the planet.

  1. There are two types of scenarios when you go for a premium paper writer service. First, when all hope is snowaddiction lost, and you have no one else to turn to because submission is tomorrow and a paper escaped you completely.
