Falls in southern Africa on the Zambezi river, falling from 108.3 m and a width of 1.6 km. It is the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, countries. Waterfall rich islands, which divides it into many small waterfalls. Thick fog and sounds an audible murmur is about 40 km.
The first European to the discovery of the waterfall (1855), it was David Livingstone, the English traveler, who then called it in honor of Queen Victoria of England. The waterfall is part of two national parks and the area attracts many tourists. These parks included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Great nature creation, which must be seen once in a life.
The falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a transverse chasm 1708 meters (5604 ft) 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 (260 ft) at its western end to 108 metres (354 ft) in the centre. The only outlet to the First Gorge is a 110 metres (360 ft) wide gap about two-thirds of the way across the width of the falls from the western end, through which the whole volume of the river pours into the Victoria Falls gorges.
