The biggest waterfall on earth is underwater.
Located in the Denmark Strait 600 meters below the surface of Greenland and Iceland. There is a 3500-meter undersea mountain like a cataract (a triangle if you want to believe that).
In that spot, cold water from the nordic seas is trying to go south. while the warmer north Atlantic water is trying to go north, and hitting that triangle where the top is warmer and the cold is below the warm water, it just curves over the triangle mountain (not really a triangle but a mountain peak none-the-less).
And it falls for about 3km (which is about 2 times the height of Venezuela's Angel falls) 3.5 million cubic meters fall from the waterfall and which has 130 times more volume than the biggest waterfalls on land.
