href=\"https:\/\/www.parks.vic.gov.au\/get-into-nature\/conservation-and-science\/our-amazing-diversity\/the-alps\" rel=\"noopener\">Victorian Alps<\/a>. NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/terra\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Terra<\/a> satellite captured this view of morning fog filling valleys in several national parks across the mountains of eastern Victoria in May. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As nights lengthen with the season, the atmosphere has more time to cool and approach the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/arx\/why_dewpoint_vs_humidity\" rel=\"noopener\">dew point<\/a>\u2014the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and water vapor can condense into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bom.gov.au\/aviation\/data\/education\/hwp-fog.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">radiation fog<\/a>. Because cold air is denser than warm air, it sinks and drains into valleys, allowing fog to develop there first. In low-elevation areas, radiation fog usually fades as the Sun warms the ground, but it tends to linger in mountain valleys because they remain shaded longer. On this day, <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.earth\/maps\/satellite\/#view=-37.15085,148.33647,8.09z\/place=-38.2105,145.335662\/date=2026-05-11,11:00,+10\/overlays=fires\" rel=\"noopener\">geostationary satellite imagery<\/a> shows the fog persisting for about two hours.<\/p>\n<p>Fog is a low-lying type of cloud composed of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. The main difference between a cloud and fog is that the base of fog reaches the ground, while the base of a cloud is generally well above the surface. Radiation fog forms in clear, calm conditions at night. In this case, a blast of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1644167483544371\" rel=\"noopener\">cold, soggy weather<\/a> primed the region by moistening land surfaces a few days prior to the arrival of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=846571071829213\" rel=\"noopener\">slow-moving high<\/a> that brought calmer, warmer conditions that were conducive to fog formation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many valleys in the mountains also have rivers, streams, and lakes, which amplified the process by providing a ready supply of water vapor. In the image above, zones of fog have formed along several water bodies, including the Mitta Mitta River, Buffalo River, Livingston Creek, Lake Dartmouth, and Snowy River. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \" style=\"--hds-image-contain-bg:#ffffff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia&#039;s-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=720&#038;%23038;h=480&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia's-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=720&#038;h=480&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A narrow arch-shaped cloud is visible over the blue waters of Port Phillip Bay.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia's-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=720&#038;h=480&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 720w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia's-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 300w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia's-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=400&#038;h=267&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 400w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/australia's-cloudy-beauty\/alpinefogpt2_tmo_20260511.jpg?w=600&#038;h=400&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">An arch-shaped cloud drifts over Port Phillip Bay in this image captured by the <a href=\"https:\/\/modis.gsfc.nasa.gov\/about\/\" rel=\"noopener\">MODIS<\/a> (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/terra\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Terra<\/a> satellite at 8:19 a.m. local time (22:19 Universal Time) on May 11, 2026.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA Earth Observatory \/ Lauren Dauphin<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The same conditions fueled another noteworthy cloud a few hundred kilometers to the southwest.
