Lenticular cloud near Mauna Kea, Hawaii, USA
Lenticular cloud. View of a single lenticular cloud, named for its smooth lens-like shape. These clouds are produced when moist air ascends over a mountain, and air waves form on the lee side of the mountain. As the wind rises and moisture is present in the air lenticular clouds rise up. If alternate layers of moist and dry air are present, the clouds form into a stack. Photographed between the Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, Hawaii

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a lenticular cloud near Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Named for its smooth lens-like shape, this unique cloud formation is a result of moist air ascending over the mountain and creating air waves on its lee side. As wind rises and moisture fills the air, these lenticular clouds gracefully rise up, forming into stunning stacks if alternating layers of moist and dry air are present. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, this image showcases nature's artistic prowess at its finest. The vibrant blue sky provides a striking contrast to the ethereal white clouds that seem almost otherworldly in their appearance. More than just an awe-inspiring sight, this photograph also offers insight into meteorology and climate patterns. Lenticular clouds serve as indicators of atmospheric conditions and can provide valuable information about weather systems in mountainous regions. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional scientific imagery, this print invites viewers to marvel at the wonders of our planet's diverse landscapes. Whether you're fascinated by cloud formations or simply appreciate natural beauty, this image will transport you to a place where artistry meets science in perfect harmony.
