VICTORIA FALLS GORGES
These are photos of the gorges below Victoria Falls. The walls of the gorges are nearly vertical and generally about 400 ft high.
Over at least 100,000 years, the falls have been receding upstream through the gorges eroding the sandstone-filled cracks to form the various gorges. The river has fallen in different eras into different chasms which now form a series of sharply zig-zagging gorges downstream from the falls. Some of the gorges each represents a past site of the falls at a time when they fell into one long straight chasm as they do now. Their sizes indicate that we are not living in the age of the widest ever falls.
