This unusual atmospheric phenomenon captured over the skies of Victoria, Australia is known as a fallstreak hole. Fallstreak holes - also known as a hole punch cloud, skypunch, canal cloud, or simply cloud hole - are large circular or elliptical gaps that form when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing, but the water has not yet frozen due to a lack of ice nucleation. When the ice crystals finally begin to form, it sets off a domino effect, leaving a large, circular hole in the cloud.
