Victoria Falls at the junction of Zimbabwe and Zambia

Places like a fairy tale.
Victoria Falls at the junction of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Victoria Falls - the only waterfall in the world, with more than 100 meters in height and more than a kilometer wide. Tourists can walk along the edge of a waterfall in the Basin of the Devil,
who is from Zambia.
The waterfall is one of the main attractions of South Africa, belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.



At Victoria Falls there is a rare natural phenomenon - the lunar rainbow. After all, the rainbow is the result of refraction and decomposition into constituent parts of the spectrum of light rays not only the sun, but the moon. So ranchers Matabele gave him another, no less poetic name - Chongue, which in their language means - "place of the rainbow."


In the past, the deeper tectonic forces of the Earth split very strong rock - basalt - on the cob, and across the Zambezi river bed a crack width of 100-120 m from one bank to the other, but at such a depth, which can hide the 40-storey building.
