The 10 Tallest Waterfalls Of The World
The 10 tallest waterfalls of the world are summed up nicely here. Two of the ten are found in our very own Yosemite National Park! Believe it or not, waterfalls are still being discovered today...all around the world.Some waterfalls have several cascades to them and combined make for a tall waterfall. Other waterfalls make the list because of their sheer single drop. From all my research it appears that Norway has the largest concentration of waterfalls. The first two are undoubtedly the tallest. The rest are subjective because there are new waterfalls still being discovered! Enjoy the great waterfall photos below! Waterfalls around the world are for everyone to enjoy. And several of the very best of waterfalls of the world are here in Yosemite National Park!
