00:00Have you ever experienced the rain of ice in your area?
00:02It rarely happens, but it's not impossible.
00:05Even the heat of the desert is sometimes flooded by ice.
00:09Don't you want to believe it?
00:11Because here's the answer to the story of Amazing No. 3.
00:14Oh no! What's that?
00:16Sometimes, our weather can die.
00:18But sometimes, it also has a mysterious side.
00:23Can you swim in the sea of sand?
00:27But be careful,
00:28because this is not sand, but volcanic ash.
00:31It's just lighter.
00:33It's scattered on top of a lake in Patagonia.
00:38The question is, why doesn't it sink and turn white?
00:42It's just light and a little bit.
00:45It's like flour when you're making pancakes.
00:47Just on top of the mixture.
00:52Let's fly to a desert in Saudi Arabia.
00:55It looks like a flowing river, but it's not really a river.
01:01It floated to the mountains and the melted ice melted.
01:06Yes, you heard it right.
01:07Even in the desert, there's ice.
01:11Because the temperature in the Himpapawid is too low.
01:15That's why pieces of ice were formed in the sky.
01:18The result?
01:19A flash flood in the former rivers that have been dry for a long time.
01:26In Indiana, USA,
01:29a cyclist noticed something strange.
01:32Oh, my goodness.
01:34Did you notice?
01:36The first thing he thought was an alien.
01:39But the truth is, in this rare weather phenomenon,
01:43which is called a crown flash,
01:45because of the current in the clouds,
01:47the ice particles in the air go in one direction.
01:53Because of that, there's an ice lens that looks like it's shining.
01:57There's an optical illusion.
01:59It's usually not visible, but it becomes visible when the angle is right.
02:07In Chile, the weather in the sky is different.
02:12With a length of 620 miles, this is what's called a morning glory cloud.
02:18It's not fully explained by experts,
02:21but it happens when the two weather fronts are hidden.
02:25The shape of the cloud becomes a cylinder.
02:29Double rainbow. Oh, my God.
02:32Not just one, but two.
02:34Have you ever seen a double rainbow like this?
02:37It's beautiful, right?
02:38Whoa, man.
02:40California farmer, Paul Bear Vasquez,
02:43witnessed this special weather event.
02:50Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
02:53To be honest, there's nothing special about double rainbows.
02:56It's just a result of the impact of the sun's rays.
03:02But Paul was amazed.
