A travel photographer captured this spectacular fire rainbow - a 'circumzenithal arc' - a phenomenon so rare he had to ask other experts what it was.

一位旅行摄影师拍摄到了壮观的着火了的彩虹奇观，这是罕见的“环天弧顶”现象。

The unusual sighting of the horizontal rainbow was captured by Ukranian snapper Anton Jankovoy - using a camera set up with a large aperture to 'soak up' as much light as possible. The rare phenomenon is created by light reflected from ice crystals in high-up cirrus clouds.

这个与众不同的彩虹石油乌克兰的小伙安顿·简克武用一个大口径的相机拍摄的。而这个罕见现象是由于在位置较高卷云中的冰晶反射闪电而产生的。

'You do see circumzenithal arcs in the UK but not to this strength of colour, ' says a Met Office spokesperson. 'Several have been seen this year in the UK. They are produced when either light from the sun or sunlight reflected by the moon passes through ice crystals in the atmosphere.'

“在英国你也许真的看到过这样的场景，但是绝没看到过这样鲜艳的颜色，”气象局的发言人说，“今年，在英国出现了几次这样的景象，他们的产生是由于大气层中月亮转过冰晶和太阳强光反射产生的。”

Mr Jankovoy said he came across the spectacular shot on a recent trip to Ghasa in Nepal. The 23-year-old travels across the world to capture his stunning shots from Mount Everest to remote areas of Ukraine.
