Les Fata Morgana sont des combinaisons exceptionnelles de mirages supérieurs et inférieurs, où l'image d'un point est un segment vertical. Ces mirages confèrent à un horizon légèrement irrégulier l'apparence d'un paysage rempli de tours et de parapets et sont à la base de nombreuses légendes. 4, record 1, French, - fata%20Morgana
