by Sorry, you can't go visit the world's tallest waterfall.
There's no overlook, there will be no oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the rainbows in the cataract spray.
There are no rainbows at all, in fact, and that's because the Denmark Strait cataract is entirely underwater.
Located in the little slice of ocean between Greenland and Iceland, the gigantic waterfall known as the Denmark Strait cataract is 100 miles (160 kilometers) wide.
It plunges 11,500 feet (3,505 meters) straight down from the Greenland Sea into the Irminger Sea, carrying around 175 million cubic feet (5 million cubic meters) of water per second — dwarfing any giant waterfall you could find on land.
For instance, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall above sea level, is three times shorter than the Denmark Strait cataract, and Niagara Falls carries 2,000 times less water, even during peak flows.
