On these pages images have been grouped in such a way that of a particular island different kinds of distortions are together; in some cases they are also compiled into composite images. There was some general discussion of superior mirages on page 1.
The bottom group on this page shows coastline as seen from sea. It is quite evident what a coast guard fellow once mentioned: occasionally it may be difficult to know how to approach harbour.
It is worth emhasizing that all mirages affect also on radar in such a way that radar horizon may be closer than normally (inferior mirage) or horizon may extend a lot farther than normally (superior mirage).
For a more comprehensive approach to the subject see
Andew T. Young's great pages.
