1 世界三大瀑布

2 What comes to your mind when you think about WATERFALLS?
当提到瀑布时，你心中想到的是什么？

3 NIAGARA FALLS Height 59 Mtrs

4 Or if You are an Indian JOG FALLS Height – 253 Mtrs

5 But certainly you don’t think of
Victoria, Angel and Iguazu Falls. So Lets see Why you should Think of These Waterfalls

6 So what is this? This is the aerial top view of the Victoria Falls

The Victoria Falls has a width of 1.7 km (1 mile) and height of 108 m (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world.

The falls are shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

9 What about this waterfall. How high do you think this fall is ?
The height of this waterfall is 979 Mtrs. Sixteen times higher than Niagara Falls. Three times the height of the Empire state building. ANGEL FALLS

10 世界最高的瀑布─天使瀑布(Angel Falls) 又名安赫尔瀑布或者丘伦梅鲁瀑布
瀑布在委内瑞拉与圭亚那的高原密林深处。这个地区的热带雨林非常茂密，人不可能步行抵达瀑布的底部。雨季时，河流因多雨而变深，人们可以乘船进入。在一年的其他时间里，只能从空中观赏瀑布。 天使瀑布位于卡罗尼河的源流丘伦河（Churun）上，河水从盖亚那高原奥扬特普伊山（Auyan Tepui）的陡壁直泻下来，瀑布可分为两段，一段大约先落下807米，落在一个岩架上，再从岩架上落下约172米，下面则是一个宽152米的大水池，这样的落差达979米，大约是尼亚加拉瀑布高度的16倍，可谓是世界上「落差最大」的瀑布。 而1937年，美国探险家詹姆斯•安赫尔（James Crawford Angel）在空中对瀑布进行考察时，但不幸墬机意外身亡，当地政府为了纪念他，因此把该瀑布命名为「安赫尔瀑布」，目前这里无陆路可通，只有搭乘飞机飞越上空才能一睹它神秘的风貌。
