Floating Islands
Yesterday we saw what I think is properly called a superior mirage. From the New Hampshire coast, we could see islands that were below the horizon line called the isles of shoals. They are about 5 miles off the coast, so normally, you wouldn’t see them. As best as I can figure, the air right above the ocean water was so cold that it resulted in this effect as seen in the image below.
