ANGEL FALLS

At 979m, Angel Falls in Venezuela, South America, is the highest uninterrupted waterfall on Earth. It was named after Jimmie Angel, a US pilot who was the first person to fly over the falls, in 1933. It’s also called Kerepakupai Vená by the indigenous Pemon people, which means “waterfall of the deepest place”.

Tugela Falls in the Drakensberg, South Africa, is the second-highest waterfall in the world, but its 948m is made up of five different falls.
