The Underwater Waterfall

The Underwater Waterfall | Life is a beach | Scoop.it

"When viewed from above, a runoff of sand and silt creates the impression of an ‘underwater waterfall’, just off the coast of the island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean."

Marc Rougier's insight:

I've been there but from the ground you don't realize. Gorgeous pics and great info in this post.

By looking at this picture you automatically think its a waterfall within the water. This image is actually just showing the mix of sand and silt deposits mixing together. The light to dark colors is what makes it look like a waterfall.

Another spectacular sight. Of course, you will need a plane or helicopter to venture above it to see it, but this illusion is pretty nifty.

Life is a beach
Beautiful beaches of the world. Please suggest (and dream :))
