File:Wave Clouds from South Sandwich Islands.jpg
Summary
The South Sandwich Islands conspired with air currents to make wave patterns in <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cloud" title="Cloud">clouds</a>. Saunders, Montagu, and Bristol Islands, part of the South Sandwich chain, all trigger V-shaped <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wave" title="Wave">waves</a> that fan out toward the east. The white clouds over the dark ocean water vaguely resemble <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Zebra" title="Zebra">zebra</a> stripes. The South Sandwich Islands are of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volcano" title="Volcano">volcanic</a> 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 <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere" title="Atmosphere">atmosphere</a> downwind of the obstacles.
