What looks to be a 'new mountain range' appears to actually be a layer of stratus that is exhibiting Holmboe instability. This is an instability related to Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, and it manifests as bumps in the clouds rather than clouds that curl over. This unique example was spotted by Peggy while out on Lake Superior, near Cornucopia, Wisconsin, US.

A cloud formation that resembles a DNA double helix is likely a Kelvin-Helmholtz (Fluctus) cloud or a double helix cloud. These formations are not a specific type of cloud, per se, but rather a visual phenomenon resulting from the interaction of air layers moving at different speeds and densities. This results in air flows that tend to have a distinct serpentine motion. This rare sighting was spotted over Auckland, New Zealand.
