Nothing is impossible and here is the proof. Of course the explanation is quite simple :)
Victoria Falls (more precisely, a group of waterfalls) on the Zambezi River between African countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The local name of the waterfall is Mosi-oa-Tunya (one of the local languages means thundering smoke), probably because the plane around the Zambezi from dozens of miles away visible cloud mist over the falls. Tribes who began to settle in these places at the end of the first century, perhaps longer were unaware that rumble quietly flowing, spilled about countless islands river that suddenly thrown into a long narrow gap to continue again so calm and deep in your way east through the Central plateau of the Indian Ocean.
The waterfall is considered one of the largest geographical landmarks of Africa. No notes found for the opening of the waterfall or at the time of Arab traders in the tenth century or at the time of the Portuguese explorers six centuries later. For this reason, the waterfall is considered "open" by the Scottish missionary David Livingstone, who, seeking a trade route to the East African coast, saw the waterfall of November 16, 1855 and named it Victoria in honor of the Queen. The unique waterfall is located about 1000 m altitude between the upper and middle reaches of the Zambezi River, and violate traditional notions that the water table is not gaining speed to the edge of the lazy river and the plain becomes a moment in Blowing element; like basalt rock suddenly cracked to swallow her. This is the beginning of the canyon, the first 1700 m of which are occupied by Victoria. Another feature is the lack of a lake, which takes more than 500 million liters of water falling every minute. Between equally high vertical walls, spaced locations 30 and 80 meters elsewhere, Victoria is more than twice as wide and as much deeper than Niagara Falls. Curtain of lush white water on the north wall reaches up to 120 m, where curling clouds of spray hid from view the bottom of the falls. More loose in height, these clouds rise sometimes up to 400 m, and carried by wind as jet fountain irrigate rainforest along the south side.
Victoria and area around the waterfall is included in two national parks - "thundering smoke" in Zambia and "Victoria Falls" (Victoria Falls) in Zimbabwe. Tropical vegetation carefully the maintained paths and shaded areas for relaxation, together with habitat Antelope Impala, Victoria became the foremost tourist attraction. The usual tourist route starts from the monument of Livingston on the western edge of the waterfall and pass the 77 high steps down a niche in the cliff, very accurately named "armchair". Waterfall curtain has shares with different names - Chief waterfall, waterfall of rainbows, Devil's Falls and East Falls. On the north wall Tonga tribe was ever wont to throw the gods as sacrificial animals to beg rain. Subsequently settlements near the water were abandoned as dengue nearly deserted them. The trail along the edge of the abyss displayed over a boiling cauldron, which collects the latest rage if falling water. Right next to it at right angles to the waterfall canyon is crossed by the bridge of the railway line, built at the end of the century as part of a project to connect North with South Africa. They say the roar of the waterfall dampen noise from the train.
According to some estimates, Victoria is the largest waterfall in the world. Is 1,7 km wide and is high between 90 and 107 m. It is interesting that the water falls in the valley and from a suitable distance one can cover with a look around the waterfall.
Victoria is part of two national parks and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa. Is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. The waterfall is also one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
In December 2013 the ruling party ZANU-PF renamed waterfall "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (Mosi-oa-Tunya), which translated means "thundering smoke" and its local name.
