It's the iconic canyon like you've never seen it before.

A new viral video shows the Grand Canyon in rare form: filled to the brim with clouds.

The video shows a full cloud inversion, which is when cold air gets trapped close to the ground by a layer of warm air, and the moisture turns into condensation, creating a sea of thick fog.

Clouds swirl and push up against the canyon's rim as if it were a seashore. Those standing on the rim feel as if they are walking on clouds.

The Arizona Republic talked with the man behind the video, award-winning photographer and videographer Harun Mehmedinovic.

"It’s kind of like another planet, practically, the way it looks," he said.
