A group of climbers in Nepal captured a stunning natural phenomenon while hiking the East Wall of the Everest mountain range. The climbers, who were filming the snow-capped mountains, suddenly saw a huge cloud avalanche heading towards them. They managed to capture the rare phenomenon on camera, which showed the rapidly moving clouds cascading down the slope of the mountain, creating a mesmerizing effect. To add to the beauty, a rainbow appeared over the river below, enhancing the already stunning view. The climbers, who had no idea they were about to witness such a breathtaking sight, were able to capture it on camera. The clip was shared by a LinkedIn user with the caption, “Unseen phenomenon (cloud avalanche) on the east wall of the Everest mountain range in Nepal.” Recorded completely by chance by a group of climbers. A rainbow appears over the river, adding to the beauty and awe.

The climbers’ footage has been praised for its stunning visuals, with many social media users commenting on the beauty of the natural world and the power of nature. Others explained the scientific reason behind how the incident happened. One comment read, “It is interesting to see how high the avalanche rises vertically out of the valley, in addition to its collective power to gather momentum and slide down the slope,”

“Amazing. Nothing compares to the charm of nature,” wrote a user.

Another user commented, “The physics is beautiful and wonderful. It is probably the density difference due to the temperature gradient that caused the cloud (water vapour) to flow as it did. To top it off, light came around, a split into rainbows, to claim that physics is beautiful if you understand it.

From time to time, Earth gives us a beautiful phenomenon to marvel at. One such beautiful phenomenon, which is on the bucket list of everyone who loves to watch the sky, is the Aurora Borealis. That in itself is already amazing enough but to see a rarity in it is really special. A Northern Lights tour group was able to see the night sky over Norway lit up by the extremely rare pink auroras. This happened when a solar storm struck Earth and created a temporary hole in its magnetic field. Markus Varik, tour leader for Greenlander Tour Company based in Tromso, Norway, shared that he saw the aurora at around 6 p.m. local time and lasted for about 2 minutes. He remembered her as “the strongest pink aurora I have seen on the major tours in over a decade.” Calling it “a humbling experience”, Marcus also shared that his entire group was stunned by the beauty.
