Underwater Waterfall in Denmark Strait Drops 3,500 Meters, Driving Atlantic Circulation
The Denmark Strait cataract is the world’s largest waterfall, an underwater, density-driven flow where cold Nordic seawater plunges about 3,500 meters down a deep seabed, moving roughly 3.5 million cubic meters per second across a ~480 km-wide slope and shaping the Atlantic’s deep circulation.
