Abstract

A record is given of the various atmospheric optical phenomena observed during the ten months' occupation of a station on the inland ice of North East Land (80° N., 20° E.) by the Oxford University Arctic Expedition, 1935‐36.

As well as the more common mock‐suns and mock‐moons, several complexes were observed, notably on June 6, 1936, when the comparatively rare Parry arc occurred.

There were also many instances of a phenomenon which has occasionally been described previously, but which has not been distinguished from others, with which it usually occurs simultaneously. It takes the form of a pair of white mock‐suns on or near the visible horizon; they do not appear to be essentially connected with the usual “prismatic” halo phenomena. The name “hypohelia” is proposed for them.
