Yes, this is a photograph of Bristol, England. It was alleged taken from the crest of the Muir Glacier in Alaska in 1889. Alaska is famous for its fata morgana, the atmospheric conditions which make things very far away seem very close, and this is the prima facie proof. Sort of. It was allegedly snapped by Alaskan conman Richard Willoughby and sold to gullible tourists for $.75 a photo, $25 today. Known as the “Silent City of Muir Glacier,” it is the scientific equivalent of the famed/fraudulent photograph of the Loch Ness Monster. But Willoughby didn’t care: he sold the negative to the San Francisco Chronicle for $500, $26,000 today. And Willoughby laughed all the way to the bank .
