A Wyoming woman with hopes of photographing some of the state's wondrous wildlife wound up witnessing an even more breathtaking scene when she spotted of a 'snow tsunami.'
Ariel McGlothin filmed the jaw-dropping optical illusion while she was exploring the wilderness near the town of Kelly.
It would appear her timing was perfect as the combination of the sun's location, a fresh snowfall, and fierce winds created the appearance of huge waves of snow rolling along the horizon.
