Ice Mirage - Mirain

There is an effect on the ice of a kind of a mirage. The island shown behind the church is about twenty-five miles away. The bottom of the island looks a bit elongated, almost like there are shear cliffs along the entire length of the base. This is the illusion. I'm not sure of the correct spelling, but I've heard people call it a mirain.

This is another shot without the church to obscure the view. It only happens during the right weather conditions and position of the sun.
