Episode 413 - "Waterfalls I Have Loved"
  • Turner Falls, Oklahoma

    • A rare waterfall that grows outward due to travertine deposition instead of eroding backward.
    • Formed by spring-fed Honey Creek flowing through Ordovician limestone, creating massive travertine deposits.
  • Pe'ePe'e Falls, Hawai'i (Big Island)

    • ~80 ft falls in downtown Hilo, part of the Wailuku River flowing between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
    • Carved into 10,000-year-old lava flows with subsequent flows creating the Boiling Pots — vertical and horizontal lava tubes.
    • Extremely dangerous, especially after storms — known as the deadliest water in Hawai'i.
  • Cataratas do Iguaçu, Brazil/Argentina

    • Largest waterfall system in the world, spanning the Argentina-Brazil border.
    • Name means "Big Water" in Guarani.
    • Upstream from the Itaipu Dam, which generates most of Paraguay’s electricity.
    • Itaipu — the 3rd largest hydroelectric plant globally and 2nd in power output.
  • Bonus Waterfalls Mentioned:

    • Cascata delle Marmore, Italy – Ancient Roman-engineered waterfall.
    • Natural Falls - West Siloam Springs, OK
    • Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota – Mysterious waterfall where water seems to disappear underground.
