Shayne Kaschl has contacted us with these images of light phenomena he has noticed on satellite shots of Antipodes Islands' coast. I would suggest from the multi-coloured hues that some kind of refraction is going on, but would be interested to hear readers' views.

Here's what Shayne has to say:


"I just wanted to share this strange phenomena of thousands of multicoloured lights off the coast of the Antipodes Islands that appear to be under water. Hopefully someone may be able to explain. Attached are some screenshots, you may verify for yourself by going to the wiki entry for Antipodes Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodes_Islands)

- click on either set of co-ordinates

- take your choice of google map interface

- zoom in to highest resolution and focus on W to WNW coastline.
