Every year around the end of February, the horsetail waterfall in Yosemite National Park, USA, attracts a large number of tourists from all over to admire the unique and magical natural phenomenon - firefall.
Horsetail Falls itself is a spectacular sight, with water rushing down from the top, fed by snowmelt from El Capitan that melts as the weather warms.
But once a year, around the second week of February, equivalent to February 16th onwards, Horsetail begins to experience the phenomenon of “firefall”. That is when the sun creates a rare phenomenon like a fire. Sunlight shines on the water, causing the waterfall to glow a mesmerizing orange-red, like lava flowing from a volcano.
