Africa-Press – Mauritius. At the extreme south-west of Mauritius, on the Le Morne peninsula of Brabant, lies one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena: the well-known waterfall, or underwater cascade.
But there are neither waterfalls nor waterfalls. In fact, it is an optical effect that can only be seen from the air, but it will captivate and mesmerize anyone lucky enough to see it.
The explanation of this phenomenon from the Water Foundation explains that at this point there are large deposits of sand and silt that, due to the strong ocean currents, are in constant motion.
“The island of Mauritius, formed by Vulcan, has great sands on the coast, and the tide of the ocean from one side to the other in the shoals which surround the island,” they explain. But where the platforms end, the water is deeper, bluer and darker.
And when the currents of the ocean drive the coastal sand to the southern tip of Mauritius in the deep ocean waters, the frequent changes in the colors of the sounds in the water create the feeling of waterfalls in the middle of the deep sea.
This phenomenon, which they show in Big Think, is really unique in the whole world, since the erosion is mainly directional. If it is true that the effect can be seen from below, the best option to admire this natural landscape, which seems to be painted in green, blue and white colors, is to ride in its full size by helicopter.
For those who saw it from the sky, as the Google comments show, it is something that “remains engraved in the mind. ” “If you visit Mauritius, make sure you book this from the air, it’s fabulous,” says Vera Fivey, from the UK on Tripadvisor.
“I would recommend this to anyone, it’s the trip of a lifetime,” says another user on the same portal.
In the Indian Ocean, about 900 kilometers from the city of Toamasina, in Madagascar, this African island nation is one of the most paradisiacal in the world.
With more than 2,000 kilometers of land surface and a population of more than a million, it is one of the longest islands in the world. Its crystal clear waters and white sand beaches have made more than one person fall in love.
He also took the well-known American writer Marcus Tawn, who said of him: First he became the devil, then the sky; and the sky was later copied by Mauricio”.
Situated between two continents and a French and then British colony, the nation is a melting pot of cultures. The majority of its population is of Indian origin, although there are also Creole, Chinese, French and South African people.
The island offers, among other things, some of the best hotels in the world, legendary golf courses and, above all, the best tropical setting in the world to relax and forget about the hectic life of the cities.
