“The World's Great Wonders”

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia). Explorer David Livingstone named the waterfalls of the Zambezi River after Queen Victoria, but locals call them Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning ‘the smoke that thunders’. Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls plummet 108m, creating a mist that is visible from 20km away. The falls were formed some 200-150 million years ago, during the Jurassic or Upper Karoo Period when land masses forming South America, African, India, Australasia and Antarctica were one huge super-continent known as Gondwanaland. Tectonic activity was responsible for the break up of this huge continent causing volcanic eruptions and dramatically altering the landscape. Over time the falls acquired their current shape through steady water erosion. (Photo by Kelly Cheng Travel Photography/Getty Images)
