A LASTING TRIBUTE TO A NOBLE QUEEN: VICTORIA FALLS 

 ON THE ZAMBEZI, SOUTH AFRICA 



This famous waterfall was discovered in 1855 by David Livingstone, and by him named for 

 England's queen. Today the railway bridge which crosses the narrow canyon below the cascade is an 

 important link in the Cape-to-Cairo line. Varying from 256 to 343 feet in height and more than a mile 

 in width, the falls of the Zambezi plunge from a basalt escarpment to a narrow chasm, parallel to the 

 face of the cataract, to which this narrow gorge is the only outlet.
