The summit register entry Many stones, tired bones, views: none, Heinrich Heine ( "Viele Steine, müde Beine, Aussicht keine, Heinrich Heine") is a popular, though unsourced phrase related to the weary ascent and the mostly foggy conditions.

The sun shining behind the observer projects their shadow through the mist, while the magnification of the shadow is an optical illusion which makes the shadow on nearby clouds seem at the same distance at faraway landmarks seen through the cloud. Chapin said she has witnessed other forms of atmospheric phenomenon before but last weekend's Spectre was incredibly significant.

Linda Iris Newbery is a British writer known best for young adult fiction—where she entered the market, although she has broadened her range to encompass all ages. She published her first novel Run with the Hare in 1988, while still working as an English teacher in a comprehensive school. This makes the rather disorienting effect of a giant shadow moving in the distance,' the Met Office said. The extraordinary sight involves the light behind a climber casting their shadow - often in an odd triangular shape. As light is made up of several colours, when it is refracted these colours can bend at different amounts and become individually visible.

The "spectre" appears when the sun shines from behind the observer, who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist or fog. [1] The light projects their shadow through the mist, often in a triangular shape due to perspective. [2] The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges their shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds, or when there are no reference points by which to judge its size. The shadow also falls on water droplets of varying distances from the eye, confusing depth perception. The ghost can appear to move (sometimes suddenly) because of the movement of the cloud layer and variations in density within the cloud.Nussenzveig, H. Moysés (1 January 2012).

Between 1821 and 1825 Carl Friedrich Gauss used the line of sight to the Großer Inselsberg in the Thuringian Forest and the Hoher Hagen mountain near Göttingen for triangulation in the course of the geodesic survey of the Kingdom of Hanover.

When Pappi goes out one day and fails to return, Tomas knows it's up to him to search - up on the high mountain passes, where dangers await. According to the Met Office, the phenomenon appears when a person stands above the upper surface of a cloud - on a mountain or high ground - with the sun behind them. Chris Randall was walking on a fell on Red Pike when he noticed an optical illusion in the corner of his eye

The Crown will portray Princess Diana as PREGNANT and will show Mohamed Al-Fayed claiming she and Dodi were killed as part of an 'establishment plot', in a move likely to cause fury in royal family, source claims As a child Linda Newbery was a secret writer, filling exercise books with stories which she hid in her wardrobe. Now she is a published author of over forty books, mainly children's and teenage fiction. She has been shortlisted for many prestigious literary prizes and has won the Costa children's book award. The phenomenon of refraction, as illustrated on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album cover (right), occurs when light rays are bent as they pass through different transparent materials - in this case water and air. Some mammal and bird species that occur here are relics of the ice age, including the northern bat ( Eptesicus nils soni), the alpine shrew ( Sorex alpinus) and the ring ouzel.
