Ice blink
Ice blink is a white light seen near the horizon, especially on the underside of low clouds,1 resulting from reflection of light off a field of ice immediately beyond. The ice blink was used by both the Inuit and explorers looking for the Northwest Passage to help them navigate safely.[1]
