Description

I tried to stay quiet, hoping sound voices would rise up and put the CIGAR UFO/USO IN ANTARTICA to bed, but alas here we are. Just look up fata morgana over water and you will get hundreds of similar images and videos. This mirage can happen anywhere, especially in cold polar areas. Quote: "A Fata Morgana is commonly seen in polar regions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_region), where it may be known as an iceblink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceblink), especially over large sheets of ice that have a uniform low temperature. It may, however, be observed in almost any area. In polar regions the Fata Morgana phenomenon is observed on relatively hot days. In Antarctica, over oceans, and over lakes, a Fata Morgana may be observed on cold days or can be seen in mist and fog"
