Fog bow with ship's bow

When the sun is behind the head of a viewer looking towards a bank of fog, a fog bow (white rainbow, sea-dog) can appear. It is similar to a rainbow but appears in fog rather than rain. Because of the very small water droplets in fog the fog bow is white due to the diffraction and smearing of the colours. Davis Strait, West Greenland, NW Passage.
