Spectacular light ring at the Swedish sky – Expressen

The phenomenon occurs when sunlight breaks and reflected in the ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. The ice crystals act as prisms.

The days have been great location for a halo, says Sofia Söderberg, meteorologist at SMHI.

– The clear cold weather, moisture that forms ice crystals have been beneficial, she says.

However, it is doubtful whether it continues to be there, with a little milder and cloudier weather on the way.

Halo is Greek for circle or halo.
