During our sailing trip to Southeast Alaska last summer, we experienced a strange optical phenomenon, at least twice.
Today, I learned that it's called a Fata Morgana.
We saw it when sailing. We couldn't understand what was ahead and astern of us. The land was distorted, moutains and trees were stretched and/or compressed together, on occasion some would appear inverted.
It is nice to finally put a name to this ^^
