A breathtaking photograph of iridescent clouds displaying a vibrant spectrum of colors over the snow-capped Thamserku mountain peak in the Himalayas, Nepal. The clouds' iridescence is a result of light diffraction caused by uniformly sized water droplets. This rare phenomenon creates a stunning visual display of nature's atmospheric optics.
