Cloud 'Morning Glory' in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia
The beautiful roll-shaped cloud that we can see in the photo above is known as 'Morning Glory' ('Morning Glory'). Is a unusual phenomenon that takes place between the months of September and October in the north of Australia And it can measure 2 kilometers high and up to 1000 km long!
Although experts have studied it in depth, a consensus has not yet been reached on what exactly causes it, thus increasing the mystery around it. It is thought that its formation is closely linked to the high pressures of northern Australia, although there are also those who say - especially locals - that it is due to a high humidity in the area.
The 'Morning Glory' have also been seen in other parts of the world like Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom and Brazil. Having the opportunity to contemplate these clouds that can move at a speed of up to 60 kilometers per hour must be wonderful and truly impressive.
