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.
