However, another equally impressive phenomenon deserves our attention. These are Ice Assaults, slow but powerful movements capable of causing serious devastation. The onslaught of the frozen masses The ice incursion, also referred to as a "glacial ice jam", takes the form of an accumulation of blocks of ice jostled by the waters of an ocean or a lake and which rush against the coastlines in the form of glacial mountains. This process can extend through winter, reaching its peak at the…

These phenomena, known as Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, are reminiscent of the imposing waves of a tsunami taking shape high in our atmosphere. These unique cloud structures are visible at all latitudes of our planet. What the human eye can capture : Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds pose no direct danger to terrestrial observers. They are devoid of precipitation or notable winds on the ground. However, these clouds are witnesses of strong instability…
