A strange physical phenomenon caught on camera reveals a 'portal to another dimension' as social media users share their reaction to the eerie discovery online
"Nature [is] always surprising, snow crystals flying, and the sun's rays filtering through the cloud!"
The clip uploading to his grid features a circular glowing "portal" in mid-air along the snowy slopes of the ski resort.
Although the eerie revelation may look straight out of a science-fiction movie, the phenomenon is known as a sub-sun, generated by the sun's reflection on a cloud of ice crystals.
It can only ever be seen from above and can only occur directly below the sun.
The sunlight reflects off the small ice crystals floating in the atmosphere, creating a strange halo in the air.
