The document summarizes an extraordinary natural phenomenon known as the morning glory cloud that occurs annually in northern Australia between September and November. The morning glory cloud forms as a wave-shaped cloud up to 3.2 km high and 600-1000 km wide that moves east to west at 40 km/hr due to the clash of warm, moist air from the sea rising over cooler upper layer air in the early morning hours. Scientists have traveled to study the unique phenomenon, though a similar clash of air masses occurs elsewhere without forming this peculiar cloud, which remains unique to Australia. Since 1989, hang gliders and paragliders have surfed the cloud waves like ocean waves, navigating in zigzags up to 480 km, though
