Noctilucent cloud 'mountain' from North Yorkshire

About this image

I was observing the late stages of the noctilucent cloud display on 17-18 June 2024 from North Yorkshire. As the sky brightened with the approaching dawn, the display gradually changed into this form. It looks like a surreal blue-white mountain rising out of the morning mist. Quite an extraordinary sight and one of the most striking noctilucent cloud formations I've ever seen.
