There aren’t many sights in nature more breathtaking than Mt Everest – especially when put against the unexpected backdrop of these stunning rainbow clouds.

That, or Michael Bay finally decided to tackle that Care Bears origin story. Either way, absolutely stunning. [Photo credit: Oleg Bartunov via Daily Mail]

From outer to inner the arcs are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
Rather then the more common rainbow spread of ROYGBIV.
