Still Waters Posted February 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2019 A Finnish border guard was, quite literally, stopped in their tracks Sunday after a ‘new island’ appeared in the middle of the frozen Lake Inari without warning. https://www.rt.com/news/452365-new-island-finnish-frozen-lake/ 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnicolette Posted February 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Wow I have never seen such a convincing mirage! Why is it so detailed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701 Posted March 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Probably it is so detailed because the cold air is very still compared to mirages in hot air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotWhoYouThink Posted March 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2019 wasn't Atlantis in the Atlantic? it would make more sense than it coming out of a lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison Posted March 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Those vertical sections that look like panels in a sea wall, are quite common in mirages. They're sometimes called ramparts. The details of distant terrain get stretched and smeared out by atmospheric refraction, giving them a nearly uniform, wall-like appearance.

MissJatti Posted March 2, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I didn't know you could take a photo of a mirage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel_kel Posted June 11, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The light rays that create that image are real. Your eye can see them, and your camera can record them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
