I is for: Iceblink
Iceblink is a noun for a yellowish glare on the underside of a cloud, signifying ice beyond the visible horizon. I know that seems pretty obscure, but bear with me. What I really want you to take from this is the occurrence of a very rare phenomenon: an iceblink rainbow.
An iceblink rainbow is basically a white-ish colored rainbow, caused in part by iceblink. Pretty cool, huh, a white rainbow? I think it is. Here is one of the few pictures I could find of one:
Happy Monday!

Never heard of one of these.. but fascinated to know about them thanks xx
my mind has just been blown.
I've heard of the green dot on a horizon and sunset before, but I've never heard of an Iceblink. That's actually pretty cool, and I'm sure helpful to sailors who are looking for a course of navigation.
Absolutely stunning - I have never heard of these - what a great day just made better- thanks!

I had no idea that the A to Z challenge could be so much fun! I like the idea of an ice blink. In fact, living as far north as we do, I think I've seen one of those, but never knew what to call it. Oh wait a minute. Maybe that was just a speck in my eye!
The iceblink rainbow looks like a sun dog flipped down to earth...
I hadn't heard of that before either. Kind of cool!
