Lenticular cloud illuminated by the Sun. Lenticular clouds form when air moves over mountains,causing it to rise. This leads to condensation in the updraft,forming a cloud. In good conditions,the updrafts may cause the clouds to resemble a stack of plates. Such formations have been mistaken for flying saucers. Photographed from South Georgia Island | |
