Plain Language Summary: A very long (more 600 km) straight edge of a Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC), located at 24-26 km altitude, was observed east of the Scandinavian Mountain Range both by an optical camera and by lidar. The cloud edge remained unchanged for several hours. We investigated the atmospheric conditions during observation which led to the unusual feature.
