Summary
Noctilucent ("night shining") clouds can be a beautiful, awe-inspiring sight but they are viewed by some scientists as harbingers of mans impact on his environment. We use a rare sighting of a noctilucent cloud at Davis station (68.6S, 78.0E), Antarctica to introduce and discuss climate change in the polar mesopause region (80 to 100km)
