A video of a spectacular cloud formation is going viral on the internet. It shows clouds rolling over the Bluff Knoll peak in the Stirling Range in Western Australia. The images are made available by Storyful.
The photo was taken by Jogar Gosrani shortly after sunrise last year, according to Storyful. In the caption of the video, he said it resembles an “inverted cloud waterfall”.
Watch the video:
“The cloud formation condensed into silky wisps of cotton candy as it made its way from the rounded ridge to freedom on the other side of the mountain,” said Mr Gosrani in the video’s caption, describing his experience witnessing this “magic” occurrence.
The video is going viral again and has been posted on Twitter by many handles. One of the posts, from Wonder of Science, has 3,47,000 views and over 10,000 likes.
Amazing videos of natural phenomena are a favorite on the internet. Earlier this month, a breathtaking video showed a huge cloud formation rolling toward a row of neat houses on an otherwise empty street. At first glance, the unusual cloud formation — known as arcus or roll cloud — looked a bit like waves.
The caption of the post read: “I was under the impression it was a tsunami, I’ve never seen clouds like this.”
The video was shared on Reddit, but the location where it was shot was not disclosed in the post.
Then, last month, a video of a huge sea wave hitting clouds took the internet by surprise. Divided by Outer Areas, the nearly 40-second video showed a wave after it reached the top, skimmed through the cloud-like formation, touched it gently, and then came down.
However, these were not real clouds. That was actually the sea aerosol (SSA). The SSA is one of the most widely distributed natural aerosols.
According to the United States Government’s National Library of Medicine website, SSA resembles clouds but is formed by the ocean, usually by the ejection of bursting bubbles at the air-sea interface.
