The glow of the setting sun over a sea of mountain mist in the Pennines, west of Halifax, United Kingdom
Under high pressure, anticyclonic weather conditions, air subsidence and compression warming of the air aloft causes an inversion, so the air over the hills is warmer than that in the valleys. Cold, heavy air trapped in the valleys gives rise to extensive fog formation or a dramatic sea of valley mist below the clear skies aloft.
