Visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park got to see this stunning sight. This weather phenomenon is called a total cloud inversion, and it happens when the air near the ground is cooler than the air above it, creating a sea of clouds. While typically a rare event, this is the second cloud inversion at the Grand Canyon in six weeks. Photos by M. Quinn, National Park Service.

Lightning dances above the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A mile below curls the Colorado River, progenitor of this fantasyland of stone—the world’s most spectacular example of erosion.
