Thanks for commenting. Actually you're correct there is atmospheric distortion. It's mostly visible directly below the peak and about 1/3 of the way up the mountain from the line of fog. Just like in the desert we get mirage effect when there's temperature inversion(i.e. colder air near the surface). It's referred to as "fata morgana". It is a misconception that atmospheric distortion only occurs when it's hot. Any time there is temperature differential it occurs.
Neat, you learn something new every day!
Ft Richardson was my first duty station. It's comical irony that I never got out to see and explore the landscape, given that now one of my favorite landscapes are glacially carved cirque lakes. Of course I was a private living in the barracks with no car and not much intelligence at the time.
