Atmospheric Phenomena of Peru: Lunar Fogbow

8/12/21 – Huallay, Cerro De Pasco – Peru – 4,340 M.A.S.L

Atmospheric optical phenomena are visual events that take place in Earth's atmosphere as a consequence of light reflection, refraction, and diffraction by solid particles, liquids droplets, and other materials present in the atmosphere. In this Scenario, we have the moonlight rays being refracted by the water particles in the mist/fog and creating a Lunar Fogbow or commonly known as White Rainbow.

The road from Lima to Huayllay takes at least 8 hours driving and around 4000 meters of elevation from sea level. It´s a very harsh odyssey and getting altitude sickness is always a possibility, especially after going up so fast, it´s a harsh change but worth it for landscape photography.
