The largest waterfall on Earth is underwater
The world's largest waterfall is in the ocean beneath the Denmark Strait.
Why it is true
Cold, dense water from the Nordic Seas sinks below warmer water from the Irminger Sea and pours over a huge drop in the ocean floor. The flow is estimated at more than 123 million cubic feet per second.
