Thursday, January 29, 2015, 11:01 AM - Visitors at the Grand Canyon in Arizona witnessed a spectacular event on Wednesday: the enormous valley completely filled up with fog.

The meteorological phenomenon is known as a cloud inversion

This is the second time in six weeks Arizona's famous natural landmark has been enveloped in fog, according to the Grand Canyon National Park's Facebook page.
