Watching a waterfall can be a truly magical experience. Although the noise created can be deafening, the pure beauty of the water cascading down a sheer rock face is an ever-changing and entrancing spectacle.

Full colour photographs capture the essence of some of the smallest yet most beautiful falls; from the picturesque splendour of Switzerland's Staubbachfall; the titanic majesty of Niagara Falls, which straddles the border between Canada and the U.S., to the highest, Angel Falls in Venezuela, which plunges from a staggering 979m (3,212ft); and the broadest, 1.7km-wide (1mile-wide) Victoria Falls on southern Africa's Zambezi River, which can only be fully appreciated from the air.

Fascinating facts describe the physical characteristics of each waterfall, their dimensions and water flow, how and when they were discovered and the way in which man has interacted with certain falls throughout history.
