HE WATERFALL ISLAND AT IGUAZU FALLS
This stunning rock formation is located at Iguazu Falls. Apparently this particular view can be seen from the lookout on San Martin Island on the Argentinian side of the falls.Iguazu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian State of Parana and the Argentine Province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River originates near the city of Curitiba. It flows through Brazil for most of its course. Below its confluence with the San Antonio
River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Brazil and Argentina.The total height of the falls is about 60-82 meters (200-269 ft). There are approximately 275 different drops and the total width of the falls is a staggering 2.7 kilometers (1.7 miles).
MOUNT KILIMANJARO FROM ABOVE
This incredible aerial photograph of Mount Kilimanjaro was posted yesterday to Reddit, by user ninjao. He states the shot was taken by his friend who has now been identified as the very talented, Kyle Mijlof (thanks Mark!)
Kilimanjaro, with its three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira,
is a dormant volcano in Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania, and the
highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea
level (the Uhuru Peak/Kibo Peak). It is composed of three distinct
volcanic cones: Kibo 5,895 m (19,341 ft); Mawenzi 5,149 m (16,893 ft);
and Shira 3,962 m (13,000 ft). Uhuru Peak is the highest summit on
Kibo’s crater rim.
Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano that began forming a million
years ago, when lava spilled from the Rift Valley zone. Two of its three
peaks, Mawenzi and Shira, are extinct while Kibo (the highest peak) is
dormant and could erupt again. The last major eruption has been dated to
360,000 years ago, while the most recent activity was recorded just 200
years ago.
