Zambia-070701-004

            Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders). It is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1,708 metres and height of 108 metres, forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world.

The falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a transverse chasm 1708 meters wide, carved by its waters along a fracture zone in the basalt plateau. The depth of the chasm, called the First Gorge, varies from 80 metres at its western end to 108 metres in the centre. The only outlet to the First Gorge is a 110 metres wide gap, through which the whole volume of the river pours into the Victoria Falls gorges. Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) during a full-moon night.
