Eternal Flame
When a flame is bright, darkness fades.
There are numerous eternal flames that are created by humans and tended to for memorial purposes. However there are also eternal flames found in nature, such as Eternal Flame Falls in Shale Creek Preserve located in western New York. This is a small waterfall that has a grotto in the base. The rock constantly produces flammable gas.
Scientists are puzzled by how this occurs, but they suspect the grotto's formation is a result of a hot, old bedrock made of shale. The high temperatures cause carbon molecules within the rock to break down, releasing gas. The same process can lead to coal seam fires and peat fires that can continue to burn for thousands of years. However, unlike these, the New York flame is almost perpetual.
