Flat Earthicans believe that the earth is a liquid pocket in an infinite ice sheet, warmed by a small sun. There are other suns supporting other pockets, which are other worlds accessible through secret tunnels deep under the ice, drilled by Leviathan Worms long ago. This picture purports to show those suns, under special conditions near the ice wall. The men you see in the picture are elements of the UN elite ski-trooper peacekeeping force, sworn to guard the ice wall with lethal force.

Sun Halo over Sweden
Video Credit & Copyright: H�kan Hammar (Vemdalen Ski Resort, SkiStar)
Explanation: What's happened to the Sun? Sometimes it looks like the Sun is being viewed through a giant lens. In the featured video, however, there are actually millions of tiny lenses: ice crystals. Water may freeze in the atmosphere into small, flat, six-sided, ice crystals. As these crystals flutter to the ground, much time is spent with their faces flat and parallel to the ground. An observer may find themselves in the same plane as many of the falling ice crystals near sunrise or sunset. During this alignment, each crystal can act like a miniature lens, refracting sunlight into our view and creating phenomena like parhelia, the technical term for sundogs. The featured video was taken a month ago on the side of a ski hill at the Vemdalen Ski Resort in central Sweden. Visible in the center is the most direct image of the Sun, while two bright sundogs glow prominently from both the left and the right. Also visible is the bright 22 degree halo -- as well as the rarer and much fainter 46 degree halo -- also created by sunlight reflecting off of atmospheric ice crystals.

Its the same as explain why double rain bows exist. And that is the same as why can I look thru water and see its reflection at the same time.

Natures most abundant natural reflective material is water. light goes thru water and it also reflects a part in the right conditions so when you look in a puddle of water you can see whats beneath it and whats above the water. So now there is no ground and the water is in the air you still have the reflection of below the water and above the water. But it all depends on the conditions. Because its the same as an oceans that does no reflect anything or a lakes that does not show the bottom.
