#Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls are on the border of Argentina and Brazil. They are spectacular by any standard of nature. They now appear on some lists of the 7 wonders. There are a number of ways to measure the world's largest falls - height, width, volume of water, number of falls etc. Iguazu wins on width and number of falls I think and is right up there with every other criteria.

The geography/geology - the Upper Iguazu river meets a great lump of hard basalt rock. It spreads over the surface  - by 3000m. Over this area there are many small islands that divides the water into over 300 waterfalls. The water falls off the basalt cliff into the Lower Iguazu river up to 80 metres below.

The sight - the noise especially and the water mist are something you need to experience first hand to enjoy. A great privilege to see. I could not stop wondering where does all the water come from - day and night 24x365 etc etc !!!

The few mob photos can never do Iguazu justice of course!
