Extremely high clouds in the far North.

At first I thought it was the Northern lights but now it seems that these bright 'curtains' of light are extremely high (80km+)ice-cristals that reflect the sunlight from the other side of the horizon. Still very beautiful to see. These are the things that show the hidden beauty of nightflights.

Hello Flying Dutchman,
These are the noctilucent clouds! They're something I want to see very much. So thanks for posting this.
