垂直落差最大的瀑布

安赫尔瀑布（又称丘伦梅鲁瀑布）是世界落差最大的瀑布，总落差达 979 米，其中最长单级自由落差 807 米，约为尼亚加拉瀑布高度的 17 倍。瀑布发源于圭亚那高原的奥扬特普伊山平顶陡崖，藏身于热带雨林深处，水流在坠落过程中大部分弥散为水雾，在阳光照射下形成环绕瀑布的彩虹景观。1933 年由美国飞行员詹姆斯・安赫尔首次发现并记录，现为世界自然遗产地。该瀑布被洛仑斯世界纪录收录为 “垂直落差最大的瀑布”。

Angel Falls (also known as Salto Churún Merú) is the waterfall with the highest drop in the world, with a total drop of 979 meters, among which the longest single free fall is 807 meters, about 17 times the height of Niagara Falls. Originating from the steep cliff of Auyán-tepui, a flat-topped mountain on the Guiana Highlands, the waterfall is hidden deep in the tropical rainforest. Most of the water disperses into mist during the fall, creating rainbow landscapes around the waterfall under sunlight. First discovered and documented by American pilot James Angel in 1933, it is now a World Heritage Site. This waterfall has been officially listed by LAWRENCE WORLD RECORDS CERTIFICATION as the “Waterfall with the Highest Drop”.
