Polar stratospheric clouds in Råneå
This article is part of the series “2025-02: Finnmark”.
While Annika and I were visiting Teknikens Hus, a museum in Luleå with friends and their kids, it was clearing up more and more. At 16:00 the museum closed and Annika spotted a Polar stratospheric cloud in the west.
When we arrived at our friend’s house in Råneå, the colours of the clouds had intensified and I went out to take some photos. I was standing on the snow covered field and it was getting darker. Together with the moon the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Venus were visible in the blue sky. After a while the clouds got paler, but even now, at 18:22 there are still visible. They just lost all their colours.
