This is a small waterfall with an grotto at the base. The rock is constantly producing gas that is flammable.Scientists are baffled by how this happens, but they suspect the grotto's formation is a result of old, extremely hot bedrock that is made of shale. The high temperatures cause carbon molecules inside the rock to break down, creating gas. The same process can lead to coal seam fires and peat fires that are able to burn for a long time. The New York flame, however is nearly perpetual.
