17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mighty Iguazu Falls

The majestic Iguazú falls shared by Brazil and Argentina make up the largest waterfall system in the world. The word Iguazu means “big water” in Tupi-Guarani etymology. Witnessing these thundering falls and enjoying their extraordinary natural beauty shortly before the first visitors arrived me speechless.
