What waterfall is renowned for the tallest uninterrupted plunge on Earth, dropping nearly a kilometer in the northern reaches of South America?​

Hint: Height, not water volume, makes this cascade singular, with a freefall measured at roughly 979 meters from tepui highlands down into rainforest valleys.​
Its fame in elite quizzes stems from the contrast between spectacular verticality and relatively remote access compared with better‑known tourist waterfalls elsewhere.​
The surrounding plateau country creates abrupt escarpments that deliver dramatic edges for water to leap from cloud forests into mist‑filled gorges.​
