This Mountain is a Mirage

Bookmark and Share
Friday, March 7th, 2008.

This mountain is approximately 241 km (150 miles) away. What you see is the image of the mountain and not the actual mountain itself. Atmospheric refraction permit objects too far away to be observed to come into clear view. When water is colder than the air above it, a ray of light traveling through the lower atmosphere will be bent, thus showing the image. See also this beautiful floating mountain.
