EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Victoria Falls, located on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in south-east Africa. The falls, discovered by European explorers in 1855, have been a source of wonder and fascination for centuries. In this image, taken in the late 19th century, the mighty Zambezi River is seen crashing over the edge of the 1,080-meter wide cliff, creating a spectacular mist that shrouds the falls and the lush rainforest surrounding them. The historical significance of Victoria Falls is rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the region. For centuries, the falls have been a sacred site for the local people, who believed that the falls were the dwelling place of the rain god, Musango. The first European to document the falls was the Scottish explorer David Livingstone, who named them after Queen Victoria in 1855. Over the years, Victoria Falls has attracted numerous explorers, adventurers, and tourists, who have been captivated by its raw power and natural beauty. The border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, marked by the Zambezi River, has been a source of tension and conflict throughout history. However, the shared natural wonder of Victoria Falls has brought the two countries together in recent years, with efforts to promote tourism and jointly manage the falls as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, Victoria Falls remains a symbol of the rich cultural and natural heritage of Africa, attracting visitors from around the world who come to witness its awe-inspiring beauty and power.
