A new island? The amazing landscape photographed in Europe that surprised everyone

February 25, 2019

Finnish border guards patrolled and captured a surprising image that cast doubt on the country's geography. Unknown island or optical illusion?

From the Twitter account of Keep of the Lapland border (Finland) they made a publication that included a photograph showing a strange landscape, because a territory that they did not know about the lake was described Inari.

Although the picture shows this new island that defeats connoisseurs of the geography of the European country, it was a strange phenomenon that caused an optical illusion. No tectonic movement has given rise to this new portion of land on the territory of Finland, this was seen as a line of rocks in the distance.

The picture taken by the Finnish Guards shows a mirage that looks like an island, similar to those occurring in deserts or large plains when temperatures are high, but can also occur when temperatures drop below -25 ° C, as in Finland.

Mirage occurs when different layers of the atmosphere have different temperatures, which gives them a different density and refractive index. As a result, the trajectories of the lights reflected by distant objects are not straight but curved, which confuses users.

Concern about "zombie" deer disease that could spread to humans

Finland It was a new one a few days ago because of a serious problem that had to be faced, even though it was considered the "happiest country in the world". The population of this country is aging faster than the number of births, leading to a decompensation of the budget balance when the pensions are paid.. That's why the government will have to give more work to more people to help fund retirees.
