Mountains take on strange shapes, sometimes appearing to grow atop each other upside down. Other mountains seem displaced as peaks 120 miles [190 km] away or more can be seen as if they were just across the ice-covered McMurdo Sound.
The Fata Morgana, Chief Horner explained, is an optical illusion caused when the air is clear by the fact that the air aloft is warmer than the air at the surface of Antarctica. - "El Pasoan studies Antarctica weather".
