Even as far north as the near-Arctic North Atlantic, we saw moist convection in the form of compressed cells that weren’t deep enough to produce noticeable lightning, but still had recognizable updraft bases…and yes, even a tail cloud. This deep-zoom peers from the SE end across the far side of the Midfjordur, a roughly 1-mile-wide, 10-mile-long inlet on the northern coast. This is a very pleasant memory for me, painting through the lens a scene of moist tranquility below atmospheric chaos, with the undular ripples of the far land fading into rain.
