The White Cliffs of
Dover are cliffs which form part of the English coastline facing the Strait
of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The
cliff face, which reaches up to 350 feet owes its striking façade to its
composition of chalk accentuated by streaks of black flint. The cliffs spread
east and west from the town of Dover in the county of Kent, an ancient and
still important English port. Source

Water sky is
a phenomenon that is closely related to ice blink. It forms in regions with
large areas of ice and low lying clouds and so is limited mostly to the extreme
northern and southern sections of earth, in Antarctica and in the Arctic. The
dark clouds over open water have long been used by polar explorers and
scientists to navigate in sea ice. For example, Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen
and his assistant Hjalmar Johansen. Source
