The Waterfall That Falls Upward

Look closely at this waterfall. The water is not falling down. It is blowing up, back into the sky, like a video playing backward.

Poglejte ta slap od blizu. Voda ne pada navzdol. Piha navzgor, nazaj v nebo, kot posnetek, ki teče vzvratno.

This strange sight happens on very windy days at tall waterfalls in Norway. Strong wind pushes hard against the falling water. The smallest drops are light enough for the wind to catch. Instead of dropping to the ground, they fly back up into the air.

Ta nenavaden prizor se dogaja ob zelo vetrovnih dnevih na visokih norveških slapovih. Močan veter pritiska ob padajočo vodo. Najmanjše kapljice so dovolj lahke, da jih veter ujame. Namesto da bi padle na tla, odletijo nazaj v zrak.

Big drops of water are too heavy for this. Only the tiny, light spray turns around. Stand here on a windy day, and you might watch an entire waterfall seem to change its mind.

Velike kapljice so za to pretežke. Obrne se samo drobno, lahko pršenje. Postojte tukaj ob vetrovnem dnevu in morda boste videli, kako si cel slap premisli.
