What is Looming?
Looming is a type of optical illusion where distant objects appear to be much closer and larger than they actually are. This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light in the atmosphere, usually when warm air lies over colder air. It can make ships or islands appear to float above the horizon.
Illustration: In the Arctic, looming can cause icebergs to appear higher in the sky, distorting their true location and size.
