  • A hole-punch cloud is typically formed when an airplane passes through altocumulus clouds. Altocumulus clouds are made up of small, super cooled water droplets. When aircraft pass through these clouds, the rapid pressure changes they cause can cool the air further. That, in turn, causes the water droplets to form heavy ice crystals, which then drop from the sky, leaving behind a "hole punch." This hole-punch cloud was observed in Thurston County, Washington. Hole-punch clouds are also sometimes called sky-punch clouds.

  • The rising sun turns golden a lenticular cloud resting on the summit of Mount Muhabura on the border of Rwanda and Uganda. Mount Muhabura is also known as Mount Muhavura and is an inactive volcano, last erupting within the past 11,000 years. With a summit at 4,127 meters (13,540 feet), it's the third-highest peak in the Virunga Mountains. The mountain is spread across Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda, and is home to populations of mountain gorillas.

  • A mammoth lenticular cloud nearly dwarfs Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong.

  • A large lenticular cloud forms near Mount Rainier in Washington state. Lenticular clouds form near mountains. Moist air is forced up and over the mountain and it cools and condenses into a cloud as it rises. Strong winds shape the cloud, which can form several miles away from the mountain that disturbed the path of the air.

  • A cap cloud covers the summit of Mount Baker, a 10,778 feet (3,285 m) volcano in Washington state. Cap clouds, technically called orographic stratiform clouds, form when moist air is forced over a mountaintop. The moisture condenses into water droplets as it climbs in elevation.

  • The sun sets behind the rim of Crater Lake in this view from the Cloud Cap Overlook in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, is visible in the lake just beneath the sun; Phantom Ship, another remnant of volcanic activity, is visible as an island on the left side of the image.
