Do you know what the world's highest waterfall is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls are really very beautiful, but in terms of(以……量) height, the most fantastic Falls in the world are Angel Falls. They are deep in the jungles(丛林)of Venezuela.
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you went by car. You would have to travel for weeks through jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours.
The fascinating falls are God's gift to nature. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, he crashed(坠毁)his plane near the top of the falls. That's how he found them.
Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometer(about 979m)from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog(雾).
