American Falls in New York, part of Niagara Falls, is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world, but at 176 feet high it isn't nearly as tall as some of the tallest. What are the five highest waterfalls in the world?

Although there are several very tall waterfalls in Europe -- the sixth- and seventh-tallest, for instance, are in Norway -- and in other areas like New Zealand, the five highest in the world are almost all located in the Americas. South America claims a whopping three out of the five highest waterfalls, while the remaining giants are found in South Africa and the United States.

lake Quill / Sutherland Falls...Milford track...In about 1964 , I flew in a twin winged domani aircraft( which was ancient even then,and we went into the lake just clearing the top of the falls , and then had to immeadiately bank and turn in order to exit back out of the falls...The Domani couldn't climb a lot of the mountain heights , so we had to pick our way through them...made for exciting flying
