A rare and astonishing video of a 'firefall' is going viral on social media. Shared by Twitter user @CaliaDomenico, the video shows a river of fire dropping from the cliff like a waterfall.
The video is making quite a buzz and has garnered a whopping 4.1 million views in just two days.
The video has raised questions like is this actually fire falling down a cliff or is this a volcano eruption? Well, the answer is no, it is just a normal waterfall and glows due to Sun rays falling on it during sunset at just the right angle.
It illuminates the waterfall and makes it look like 'firefall'.
Calia shared the video with the caption, "Firefall” at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California, which looks like a scene from a fantasy movie. But, it is an ordinary waterfall, which is illuminated by the sunset, that gives it a fiery glow."
