Details:
On March 16th, I was at the top of the 2300-meter Jhenshan trail near Hsinchu, and I encountered beautiful ice halos near noon! At that time, the altitude of the sun was about 60°. First I saw the 22° circular halo and circumscribed halo, and even more surprising is the super strong 9° halo. I'm just so happy! The 9°halo is one of the 'Odd radius halos'. They are special halos formed by pyramidal ice crystals, which are not very common. Later, I found that there are some white arcs outside the 22° halo. If you look closely, it turns out to be a parhelic circle passing through the sun! These beautiful ice halos seem to herald the coming of halo season, which is full of anticipation.
