wtf is up with that? Did you take the pic? Where?
I'm presuming it's not a Photoshop job.

Craggie,
You're a hemisphere off - turn your globe upside down and go to Argentina!
It is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World - Iguazu Falls.
This is the head of the falls called La Garganta del Diablo - The Devils's Throat.
It is so freaking freaky to stand on the brink there! I'm still having night sweats!
For the historically minded it seems that at the turn of the past century
it was the custom for the few tourists to have a local guide row you out to
the edge! Now the "edge" extends for miles to the left of the above picture
so it isn't clear where they did this but you can see where it is going, literally.
After the 4 Germans and their 'guide' went over they stopped that foolishness. Sheesh!
Glad those aren't fat Americans over there and I'm really glad I didn't
have to build that thing!
Lotsa water but it gets a lot bigger than this apparently!

It looks like a sandstone keel-hauling party to me.

I recognize that last one, Guido- escalante region, near Kodachrome Basin, damn, I've been there but can't remember the name of the canyon.
It looked like a rough ride.

Bull Valley gorge in 1954. Jeep slid backwards off the icy incline and all the boys were history. Rather strange to walk under knowing the history and all.
