Nope. The Maxwell equations predict exactly that light gets refracted by boundaries between mediums.

So from these equations the picture is absolutely what’s expected.

Your proposing that the mountain should not be visible. For which you must either proof that various air density and humidity zones do not cause refraction (I.e. the distance visible should be a straight line) or that the formulas are flawed.
