The Denmark Strait Cataract between Iceland and Greenland is considered to be the largest and highest waterfall in the world. Enormous masses of water fall down the 3500m tall continental cliff, which dwarfs every surface waterfall in comparison. In this video we will take a look at how the ocean currents, together with the special topography in the Denmark Strait created this gigantic waterfall.
