This is the spectacular moment a volcano had its hat on after a thick layer of flat clouds formed around the summit.<br /><br />Locals were astonished to see the hat-shaped lenticular cloud blanketing the peak of Mount Rinjani on Lombok island, Indonesia on Wednesday (July 17).<br /><br />Breathtaking footage captured from a home at the base shows the active volcano naturally adorned with a long white cloud around its summit.<br /><br />Local resident, Rosyidin, said mist often gathers around the top of the volcano but this was the biggest and best cloud he had ever seen.<br /><br />He said: ''It started around 7 AM and ended at 9:30. We were surprised to see how it was very thick and very round.<br /><br />''It looked like the volcano was wearing a hat. It was amazing. I've lived here for many years and never seen anything like this. This was the biggest cloud and the sky everywhere else was clear.''<br /><br />Lenticular clouds are dense, stationary clouds which are caused by air movement and often found near hills or mountains.
