The Ice City
This "Ice City" with ice skyscrapers appeared over the horizon as we travelled late at night near the coast of East Antarctica. Taken on long zoom, it was in fact even further away than it appeared, but had been raised above the horizon and stretched upward by the effect of temperature inversions above the cold sea, to create what is called a "Mirage Fata Morgana". When we eventually reached the iceberg, it was little different from the one at right: the magical effect disappeared with proximity.
