Chamonix, France - Flegere - January 10, 2010 (by mathomas81)
was here in the summer of 2006. a very short trip to visit friends and recuperate ~ 6 months into a long project of 80hr/7 day work weeks.
At first glance it looks like aliens have landed in an enormous flying saucer, or that this mountain has somehow managed to take off and is breaking the sound barrier. But the explanation is more terrestrial and less technical. The extraordinary sight is nothing more than a rare cloud formation known as a ‘lenticular cloud’ - or simply a cap cloud.
The bizarre lens-shaped formation happens when moist air flows over mountains - such as Klyuchevskaya Sopka mountain in far east Russia, where the photo was taken.
