Reverse waterfall

Geological and Atmospheric Phenomena

A reverse waterfall is a phenomenon in which water at a waterfall is blown upward by strong wind, giving the apparent perception of water flowing upwards rather than down. Wind blowing at roughly 75 kilometers per hour or stronger above the falls can cause this effect.
