The most famous waterfall in the world, located on the border of the United States of America and the province of Ontario, in the northwest of the famous state of New York in the northeast of the United States of America, is considered a masterpiece of natural beauty and one of the natural wonders of the world.
This waterfall connects the two largest lakes of the United States, Lakes Erie and Ontario. In addition to this waterfall, there is another waterfall that is located in a park in Erie County near Niagara. It is not as big as Niagara Falls, but the surprising thing is that a flame has been burning under this waterfall for thousands of years. Visitors here. Tourists are amazed to see a flame burning under a sheet of rapidly falling water.
Chestnut Park Ridge is a small park in Oakwood Park near Buffalo in Erie County, New York, USA. This park is full of chestnut trees. A flame has been burning for years beneath a large waterfall located south of the park between Seufert Road and Shell Creek that can be clearly seen from a distance.
A strong waterfall has been flowing over it for years. Facing north-west, this waterfall is 10 feet wide and 30 feet high. Below the waterfall on the right is a small hill in which a flame is always seen burning, the flame varying from 3 to 8 inches in height. The flow of water, wind pressure and snow will occasionally cause the flame to go out but then rekindle. A large number of tourists come to see this interesting scene. This waterfall has become a mystery for scientists and geologists.
A long time ago, a team of American scientists tried to find out the reality of the bright flame under the waterfall, but they could not find anything special. Later, in his report, he attributed the release of gas from the rocks under the water as the cause of the flame.
The scientists’ report said that under the water there are flammable gasses and layered rock called schist, which is made up of layers of different minerals. Instead of having an effect above the water, the flame appears to be underwater, but other studies conducted later disproved this, further adding to the spread of the bright flame below the falls.
The scientists of Indiana University Bloomington, which is famous for research, rejected the above-mentioned report after their research and denied the existence of such a gas under the water. According to their research.
There were no traces of any gas under the waterfall that could ignite the fiery lava under the water.
There are two types of gas under water, Ethane and Propane, but their intensity is as high as that found inside a cup of tea. It is amazing that a flame can stay lit underwater for such a long time.
