Whiteout is defined by WikiAnswers.Com as a polar weather condition caused by a heavy cloud cover over the snow, in which the light coming from above is approximately equal to the light reflected from below, and which is characterized by absence of shadow, invisibility of the horizon, and discernibility of only very dark objects.
When a whiteout occurs in Antarctica, it's called an Antarctic whiteout.
This weather condition can also occur in the north polar region and in mountainous regions throughout the world.
