Unbelievable! Wonder what legend/ritual the Indians had for this very special phenomenon, can't imagine they hadn't if they knew it

Thank you everyone for your "thanks".  Galen Rowell, photographer and climber, was considered the first to document this event, and I attended his seminar in the late 70's  when he discussed the scientific explanation and the capturing the event, so I have been hooked for many years and never tire of seeing it.

 

@otto.f:  I have wondered that myself, I do not know where the winter villages were, as that would influence whether they saw it.

What a remarkable natural event! Your images and the in-depth explanation are fascinating.

I admire your tenacity and your bravery, the very thought of those massed photographers does my head in, I could not line up with such a crowd for anything.....so thank you for making this vicarious enjoyment possible.
