Its height reaches 9 meters and its waters fall from a slope composed of shale and divided into two segments. In a small grotto, located at a height of one and a half meters, to the right of the bottom of the waterfall, there is a source of natural gas that can be ignited. The height of the resulting ignition flame varies from 10 to 20 centimeters. When the waterfall flows at full strength, the water pours over the grotto, covering the flame and scattering its light like a lampshade.

4. Horizontal waterfalls, Australia
Horizontal waterfalls are a natural phenomenon taking place on the coast of Kimberley County, Western Australia. 
Despite their name, horizontal falls are fast-moving tidal currents that pass through two narrow, closely spaced gorges. mountain range McLarty Range in Talbot Bay. The direction of the stream changes with each change of tide. Because the tides in the Kimberley can reach 10 meters, the peak of the tide results in a significant difference in sea level on both sides of each of the gorges. 
The width of the northern gorge, closest to the sea, is 20 meters, and the southern, inner gorge is 12 meters. Between each of the gorges there are natural reservoirs, ranging in size from six to eight kilometers, which are filled sea water through the openings of the gorges. At low tide, the water leaves these reservoirs, and they are almost completely drained. The Inner Gorge is also partly fed by fresh water from Poulton Bay.

Salty and iron-rich water leaves a small crack in the Taylor Glacier. Blood Falls is powered by nearby lake covered with a layer of ice, which is located at a depth of 400 meters. The salt content in water is 4 times that of the ocean. Therefore, the water in the waterfall never freezes even at temperatures below -10°C.

Almost white stone formations hang from them, which look like waterfalls. 
The waterfalls are formed by a relatively small amount of water, which is supersaturated with calcium carbonate and comes to the surface through cracks in the mountainside. The water temperature ranges from 22 to 27°C. As water flows down the rock, it forms large stalactites similar to those found in caves. The flow of water from a spring depends mainly on the season and its strength depends on whether it is a dry season or a rainy season. 
One of the cliffs, called the Little Falls or Amphitheater, includes two artificial swimming pools, as well as a number of small, natural pools.
