Falling Off The Edge Of The World
I've heard of Niagra Falls and Angel Falls, but never Puerto Iguazu y Fox do Iguacu.
On the Argentinean side there was one area that truly showed the power of the falls off: there is a large ledge where several hundred metres of waterfalls drop their loads, from 70 metres above, onto. This water, already a churning mass, can’t simply flow off the next edge of this ledge, but is funnelled to the right, when looking at the falls, through to one spot, one waterfall of about 30 metres or so! The result; a huge churning, exploding, beast of a mass of atomic powered and erupting water that I would imagine would have no qualms in removing all major limbs and external body parts of any person unlucky enough to tumble down there! It was awesome and maybe from my surfing days and knowing how powerful a 12-foot wave can feel, an ant versus this puppy, it actually scared me and sent a shiver down my spine watching and marvelling at it. If the world is short of power in the future then lets simply erect some sort of hydro-electric facility here and power not only all of mankind, but any other type of Galactic species we find in the future - I kid you not, 50 Hiroshima’s per second, forget BHP!!!! There’s enough to go round for everyone!
