Winter SUNRISE `Photographs From Greenland

These incredible photographs look more like a scene from the end of the world than a winter sunrise.

The award-winning photographic pair were staying in the Inuit community
of Qaanaaq, about 800 miles from the North Pole, when the apocalyptic
cloud colouring began over Inglefield Bay.

It was just before dawn, around 10am, when an Inuit friend of mine
whose house I was staying in came to my room and suggested that I take
a look at the sky,' Mr Cherry said.

'I went outside and was stunned by the beautiful and dramatic cloud
formation. I just couldn't believe my eyes. I have worked in the Arctic
regularly for the past 37 years and I had never seen the sky like it.'

The pictures show a thin layer of medium-level cloud that has been pummeled by winds churned up between the glaciers below.

'You often see clouds repeating the shape of the ground below,' a spokeswoman from the Met Office said.

'The wind comes in from one side, is lifted up over the mountains and
hits the clouds before coming down again. It's a dramatic example of
what is known as an orographic effect.'

The angle of the rising sun helped to highlight the different colours and intricate patterns.

'It looked apocalyptic and like a scene from one of the Lord of the Rings movies,' Mr Cherry said.

He said: 'I grabbed my cameras and photographed for about an hour as
the cloud formation changed and the colour of the clouds turned from
grey to pink as the rising sun's rays caught them.

Mr Cherry said: 'Just about everybody in the village was amazed,
including an elderly Inuit hunter who told me that he had never seen
anything like that before in his life.'
