two Rainbows seen in Iceland
A strange natural phenomenon was recently seen in
Iceland. Two rainbows were seen at the same time. Hróbjartur
Thorsteinsson explains this on the web of the Icelandic Met Office. It is uncommon to see a full circled rainbow, because a
lot of raindrops have to be below the horizon. However, it is possible
from a great height, from high skyscrapers, airplanes or steep mountain
slopes. Often a second rainbow with a radius of 50¨ is also visible with
reversed colors. Such outer rainbows are explained by more than one
reflection in raindrops.More in Iceland Review
