Questions about Angel Falls Have Arisen

submitted by Scott Schwartz on July 6, 2021

This post was in response to Angel Falls

It seems hard to imagine but the World Waterfall Database, which I think is a serious list, has placed Angel Falls BEHIND Tugela Falls for height, based on the original 1949 measure being faulty and counting the small waterfall below as not contiguous enough. Apparently, nobody has done a recent measurement and so the challenged record is still under scrutiny. It is an interesting idea, probably not free of jingoism, but I wondered if you had any thoughts about it.
