Yosemite Valley in the United States.
It’s a breathtaking place surrounded by 1,000-meter cliffs.
In spring, a waterfall cascades down a cliff creates a mystical phenomenon.
This is it. I think we’re living the magic minute.
There’s a sight lasting only a moment before sundown.
The waterfall’s like lava.
Cold weather suddenly returns.
Oh my god! Wow!
Strange ice, formed at the waterfall basin, fills the rivers and floods through the forest.
In spring only, the valley displays a series of magnificent sights around the falls.
People from all over the world come to visit Yosemite Valle.
This episode shows the hidden drama of nature.
Yosemite Valley is in the state of California, about 300 kilometers east of San Francisco.
Yosemite is twelve kilometers long and up to 1.6 kilometers wide. It’s a magnificent valley.
Every year, three and a half million people from around the world visit to view its many striking vistas.
Spring is when water volume is at its highest. Melting snow creates roaring waterfalls.
Yosemite Valley is draped with numerous waterfalls.
This waterfall is called Bridalveil Fall.
The wind-blown mist gracefully falling over the cliff resembles a bride’s veil.
This is Nevada Fall. Its torrents of water tumble down into the pool below.
In Spanish, “nevada” means “snowy.”
The name was inspired by how white the waterfall looks from all the spray.
And finally, there’s the great Yosemite Falls. It drops a dramatic 739 meters, making it the tallest waterfall in North America.
Because of its enormous drop, the cascading water rises like a mist. Every spring, a magical phenomenon occurs right here at the falls.
It’s spring, but winter still seems to linger here.
In Yosemite Valley, between late March and April temperatures can sometimes suddenly drop to below freezing.
That’s when Yosemite Falls’ mysterious phenomenon occurs.
This is Steven Bumgardner, a filmmaker who’s been documenting Yosemite’s natural phenomena for years.
Steven bringing his camera, heads to the basin of Yosemite Falls.
So that’s Yosemite Falls.
Oh my god! Wow!
Water from the newly melting snow drops down the precipice.
