Grand Canyon National Park is beautiful enough with all of its serene sights and wildlife. A newly released video takes the beauty element up a notch.
Grand Canyon National Park is beautiful and awe-inspiring from its expansive sights to biological diversity. A newly released video is only enhances its natural wonder.
The U.S. National Park Service posted the footage on social media with a caption that notes “Time-lapse video of.. total cloud inversion that filled Grand Canyon. The action in this 1 minute video would take 15 minutes in real time. Almost looks like the tide coming in and going out.”
In the remarkable clip that was shot on Thursday, thick fog appears at the bottom of the canyon. It delicately drifts upwards and fills every nook and crevice in the surrounding area.
The top of the fog layer bears a striking resemblance to the white, frothy surface of the sea. The mesmerizing video captures the fog as it flows up and down the canyon walls.
Total temperature inversion happens when a warm layer of air covers cold air at the bottom of the canyon.
If moisture is present, condensation results in the fog formation. Recent precipitation in the area provided just the right amount of moisture to create the fog shown in the video.
