The photos look as if lava is flowing down from the top of a steep cliff.
This amazing natural phenomenon is actually caused by light at sunset reflecting on Horsetail waterfall in Yosemite National Park in California, USA.
Waterfalls are like molten lava.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” said photographer Sangeeta Dey. “ We were mesmerized by this amazing sight.”
“Fire waterfall” is a rare natural phenomenon.
The “firefall” phenomenon only occurs every February when the Sun sets at a precise angle to the waterfall.
But the phenomenon also requires the right weather conditions, such as enough snow on top of the falls, temperatures warm enough for the snow to melt, and clear skies.
It takes a combination of factors to make this unique phenomenon appear.
This is the first time the “firefall” phenomenon has reappeared in Yosemite National Park after it disappeared for several years due to drought conditions.

“I’ve met many colleagues who say they’ve been coming here for 11 years only to see the ’firefall’ phenomenon happen two or three times ,” said photographer Dey.
