Iguazu Falls splits into roughly 275 separate cascades

Iguazu Falls splits into roughly 275 separate cascades

Iguazu Falls on the Argentina–Brazil border fractures into roughly 275 individual cascades along a horseshoe of cliffs — a waterfall archipelago rather than one single sheet.

Islands and basalt ledges split the Iguazu River; the famous Devil’s Throat concentrates thunder into a U-shaped abyss.

Plural beats singular. Iguazu’s power is a chorus of drops, not a solo plunge.
