DescriptionWave Clouds from South Sandwich Islands.jpg
English: The South Sandwich Islands conspired with air currents to make wave patterns in
clouds. Saunders, Montagu, and Bristol Islands, part of the South Sandwich chain, all trigger V-shaped
waves that fan out toward the east. The white clouds over the dark ocean water vaguely resemble
zebra stripes. The South Sandwich Islands are of
volcanic origin—Bristol and Montagu have been active during recorded history—and all the islands poke rugged summits above the ocean surface. The islands disturb the smooth flow of air, creating waves that ripple through the
atmosphere downwind of the obstacles.
