A cold mirage is an optical phenomenon that occurs when layers of air at different temperatures create a refractive effect, causing distant objects to appear distorted, shifted, or inverted. This typically happens over cold surfaces, such as ice or snow, where warmer air overlays colder air. The result can make objects appear higher in the sky or create shimmering images that are not physically present. Cold mirages are often seen in polar regions or during extreme weather conditions.
