    Fata Morgana

    January 14, 2021. Normally we can barely see the Delta Mountains from Fairbanks, as the subrange of the Alaska Range is about 140 miles away. However, yesterday we had a very strong temperature inversion which causes a superior mirage called Fata Morgana. We see these mirages very often in the winter, but this was by far the best display I have seen as it combined with the sunset light hitting the peaks just perfectly. Taken at 3:07 pm from the University of Alaska. Temperature: -8°F in town and +10°F on the hill | Sunrise: 10:27 am | Sunset: 3:33 pm
