Rare Fire Rainbow Caught on Camera at 5,000 Meters in Tibet's Ngari Prefecture

A stunning rare circumhorizontal arc, commonly known as a fire rainbow, was filmed at an altitude of 5,000 meters in Ngari Prefecture, Xizang Autonomous Region. The footage, captured by Kangba TV, shows the vivid rainbow-like phenomenon stretching across the sky over the Tibetan Plateau. The circumhorizontal arc is an optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through high-altitude cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals, creating a brilliant horizontal band of colors. This event is particularly rare due to the specific combination of solar elevation and ice crystal alignment required. The video has garnered attention for its breathtaking depiction of this natural wonder.
