A spectacular and beautiful cloud formation was spotted in the skies above Australia by a passenger on an aeroplane.
Ilya Katsman, 22, saw the phenomenon on a Virgin Australia flight from Perth to Adelaide.
A spokesperson from the Met office explained to The Telegraph that the cloud is of a
type commonly seen in Australian skies, but they are rarely as beautifully distinctive as this example.
Ms Katsmann wrote on Instagram: "The most unique cloud formation I have seen to date on route from Perth to Adelaide somewhere over The Great Australian Bite".
Virgin Australia posted a selection of photographs, writing: "Flying above the clouds has never looked this good! These incredible cloud formations were seen on board VA714 from Perth to Adelaide."
