1865 Alps Brocken Form Observed Phenomena Spectre Triple Whymper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and mesmerizing natural phenomenon known as the Brocken-Type Spectre, observed by Whymper in the Alps back in July of 1865. The image showcases a triple cross formation, suspended in the sky like a mystical apparition. This historical event is not only visually stunning but also holds great significance in the realm of meteorological phenomena.
The Brocken-Type Spectre occurs when sunlight shines from behind an observer onto fog or mist, creating a shadowy figure that appears larger than life. In this particular instance, Whymper was fortunate enough to witness this breathtaking sight firsthand and document it for posterity.
As we gaze upon this aerial snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when such natural wonders were still shrouded in mystery and awe. The intricate details of the triple cross shape are beautifully captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, allowing us to marvel at the intricacies of nature's artistry.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the power and beauty that can be found in even the most fleeting moments of our world. It is a testament to both human curiosity and Mother Nature's boundless creativity.
