Angel Falls

Angel Falls is the Longest free fall of water in the world.

At 979 meters high, it is 15 times higher than Niagara.

Angel Falls is located in the Guayana highlands, Venezuela.

The falls are named after Jimmy Angel, a bush pilot who first saw the falls in 1933 while searching for a gold ore bed.

The tallest non permanent waterfall in the world is the Catira which is found close to the Angel Falls.

i did some research and if you turn on the GE community layer, the angel falls or salto angel has to be somewhere around here:

Maxx, you are right. The placemark of the bot lies 40 miles south of the Auyan-Tepui, the mountain where the waterfall is located. Something interesting: The ecosystem on top of the mountain is completely different to the jungle ecosystem down below.
