Man Photographs "Ice Halo" Around The Sun In Swiss Alps

A photographer captured an angelic display while skiing down the Hörnligrat Mountain in the Swiss Alps. Using just an iPhone 11, Michael Schneider snapped a stunning image the moment the moment ice crystals froze midair, creating a perfect 'halo' around the sun. The optical phenomenon, which is actually known as a 22° halo, occurs when light interacts with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.
