A Halo Around The Setting Sun.

Being treated to a beautiful and delicate ice cystal display this evening.

Along with the 22-degree halo, we see two sundogs, a tangent arc, and above the Sun out of shot, a circumhorizontal arc.

Earlier in the afternoon I could see rare Parry Arcs above and below the Sun, first recorded by the polar explorer in April 1820 as searched in the Canadian Arctic for the North West Passage - his expedition trapped by ice for six months off Melville Island.
