Watch an extremely rare white rainbow in the North Pole

A white rainbow appeared in the Arctic sky for a brief moment recorded by Russian explorer Sam Dobson.

While the icebreaker ship is going deep into the North Pole of the Earth, Sam snaps a photo of the white rainbow instead of the usual seven colors.

Extremely rare phenomenon of rainbow dew

The 51-year-old explorer said: 'It was around midnight but this time of the year in the Arctic there was no night so it was very bright. At first, we thought it was a cloud, but when we got closer, it turned out to be a rainbow, but it was white. '

At that time, Sam was riding on the world's largest nuclear icebreaker named '50 years of victory' .

The amateurs added: 'I feel extremely fortunate to be on that ship and witness the scene that not everyone has the opportunity to see with their own eyes.'

Sam joined the crew on the Russian nuclear icebreaker
witnessed this extremely rare spectacle of nature.

The white rainbow is also called a dew rainbow, which is a phenomenon similar to a regular rainbow but appears as a dew dome instead of rain. This mist is made up of very small water droplets (less than 0.05mm) so the rainbow is only white instead of seven colors.
