The Three Greatest Waterfalls in the World Which are the Three Greatest Waterfalls in the World? The Niagara Falls、The Victoria Falls and The Iguazu Falls 尼亚加拉瀑布、维多利亚瀑布、伊瓜苏瀑布 Niagara Falls, one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, can only be described as breath taking. Niagara Falls comprises three distinct cataracts. The tallest are the American and Bridal Veil falls on the American side, separated by tiny Luna Island and plunging over jagged rocks in a 180ft drop; the broad Horseshoe Falls which curve their way over to Canada are probably the most impressive. 尼亚加拉瀑布其实不是一个瀑布。按照美国人的说法，是3个瀑布：“马蹄瀑布”（Horseshoe Falls，它状如马蹄）、“美国瀑布”（American Falls)和“新娘面纱瀑布”（Bridal Veil Falls)。观赏这个与众不同的瀑布，可以有不同的方式，而最特别的莫过于乘搭雾少女号观光船，穿上一身防水工具于瀑布下参观，穿梭于波涛汹涌的瀑布之间，到扑朔迷离的水雾之中，涛声惊心动魄，雾水涤尽尘嚣。 The Victoria falls is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute.

The Falls are spectacular throughout the year, but February onwards, after the rain season, has the heaviest flow and volume of spray. 维多利亚瀑布又称莫西奥图尼亚瀑布，位于非洲赞比西河中游，赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处。宽1,700多米，最高处108米，为世界著名瀑布奇观之一。欧洲探险家，戴维·利文斯敦1855年在旅途中发现它，并以英国女王的名字为其命名。维多利亚瀑布1989年被列入《世界遗产目录》。 维多利亚瀑布非常凶险，但是吸引了世界各地的勇敢者。只有到每年9月到10月的旱季时，水池的水量相对较少，也相对较平静，不会顺着岩壁留下瀑布。而每年3月到5月的洪水季里，其水流量是旱季的15倍。所以，人们要赶在旱季跳进池内游泳。当碧蓝色的池水像死了一般静止时，没人能知道它是“魔鬼”——只有流亡在瀑布下游的浮尸，警告着人们：走近我，淹没你。 Iguazu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian State of Paraná and the Argentine Province of Misiones. The Iguazu River starts at the city of Curitiba and runs for the most part of the course in Brazil and at the end at the border of Brazil and Argentina. The waterfall s
