Sundog, Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada

A Sundog or Parhelion is a member of the family of halos. It is formed when sunlight is refracted by ice crystals high in the air.

Sundogs are best seen and most conspicuous when the Sun is near the horizon.

This atmospheric phenomenon consists of a bright spot to the left and/or right of the sun. They often occur in pairs, one on each side of the sun.
