They say that the difference between a person and a waterfall is that the degree of his greatness is not determined by the height of his fall. However, there are many natural wonders on earth: you can find not only traditional waterfallsthat fall to the ground from a dizzying height, but also horizontal … Such natural phenomena are found in Australia … Despite the fact that their height is only about 5 meters, in their beauty they are not inferior to the most picturesque waterfalls in the world.
The horizontal waterfalls are located in the Australian Talbot Bay. There are two mountain ranges at a distance of about 300 m from each other, each of which has narrow crevasses (one of them is about 20 m wide, the other is 10 m). During high tides, a huge mass of water from the bay rushes through the crevasses. Due to the difference in water level under strong pressure, natural phenomenon - horizontal waterfalls.
Despite the fact that Australian horizontal falls are clearly not rivals to such giants as Niagara Falls or Victoria Falls, David Attenborough, one of the most famous naturalists in the world, having studied this natural phenomenon, called it "one of the greatest natural wonders in the world."
