Where is the unique "flame waterfall" in the world?

As we all know, waterfalls are wonders formed by rivers on cliffs or places with large drops. It's huge, deafening and spectacular. But have you ever heard of "Flame Falls"? In addition to the common waterfalls formed by rivers, there is also a unique "flame waterfall" on our earth, which is really the only one without branches.

Named source

Maybe everyone will think, is it the "flame waterfall" formed by the magma ejected from the volcano? Actually, it's not. This magical waterfall called "Flame Waterfall", formerly known as Mawei Waterfall, is located in Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Probably because the whole waterfall looks like a ponytail, so it is named.

Basic information

"Flame Waterfall" is not the flame or magma that everyone guessed, but the visual effect of Mawei Waterfall after being irradiated by the sun. Mawei Waterfall is a seasonal waterfall, which means it can't be seen all year round. Only in winter and early spring will water flow to form a waterfall.

cause

In Yosemite National Park, there is a place called Emirates Rock, and Mawei Waterfall is on the granite stone wall to the east of Emirates Rock. From a distance, you can see that there are two streams pouring down side by side on the Emirates Rock about 600 meters high. The spectacle of "Flame Waterfall" usually occurs at dusk, and it will not appear until the sun completely covers Mawei Waterfall.

It is said that "to see the sun, for all his glory is buried by the coming night" and "Flame Waterfall" usually appears in the evening of February. When the sun sets, Mawei Waterfall also shines with the light of the setting sun. From the initial yellow light to the whole waterfall being illuminated by the sunset, this rare gorgeous scene will be produced.

plant conditions

The conditions required to produce the "flame waterfall" are very harsh. First, because Mawei Waterfall is a seasonal waterfall, if there is not enough snow stored in winter, Mawei Waterfall will not receive water. Another reason is that it can only appear at the right angle of the sun. Generally speaking, you may not see the "Flame Waterfall" unless you are the "European Emperor".

The unique "flame waterfall" in the world has harsh conditions and can only be seen if you are lucky enough.
