[Earthview Wonders] No.450: Iguazu Falls🇦🇷🇧🇷
Astronaut Anton Shkaplerov captured from ISS the UNESCO’s World Heritage, the Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil.
The Iguazu Falls are the largest waterfalls system in the world. Numerous islands along the 2.7km-long edge divide the falls into many separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying 60-82m high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level of the season. About half of the river’s flow falls into a long and narrow chasm called the Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish).
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
