Friday curious. The most amazing rivers.

[airiefairie.livejournal.com]

Having seen the Okavango delta and the waterfalls on the Zambezi, I thought there couldn't possibly be a more spectacular river that could be seen on planet Earth. Well, seems that I had been wrong. Nature never fails to amaze with its wonderful magic. Several cases in point:

1. Odeleite River, Portugal


2. Li, Guangxi Province, China


3. River of five colors or Caño Cristales, reserve Macarena, Colombia


4. Alatna River, USA


5. Soca, Slovenia, Italy


6. Zambezi, Africa


7. Yangtze River, China


8. “Heart”, North Dakota, United States


9. “Horseshoe”, Colorado, United States


10. Amazon River, South America


11. Lena River, Russia


12. Futaleufú River, Argentina, Chile


13. Hudson, United States


14. The Danube, the European Union


15. Mississippi, United States

Don't know about rivers, but we here have some of the nicest bridges around.

My fave river: Jökulsárlón is a glacial lake which has formed where a glacier river meets the ocean. In winter, the walls of ice are stuck at the river mouth and have formed a natural barrier. In summer, the river flows almost freely into the sea. Occasionally, large sheets of ice would plummet into the lake, causing a loud explosion sound. Part of the water oozes through the ice walls, especially in spring when the river is the most powerful (mind you, "spring" comes rather late in South-East Iceland). The whole landscape is like taken from a surrealist paintain, only it's in motion - and the constant cracking gurgling sound is mesmerising.

Surprisingly, there's wildlife (geese and other birds) even in a place as frozen as this.

Is it just me, or some of these look like delicious cake?
