Dnieper Rapids, River rapids in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, Ukraine.
The Dnieper Rapids extended over 66 kilometers, featuring nine major rapids and 60 islands formed by granite and gneiss rock formations.
Ancient Greek writers documented these rapids in the first century AD, marking their significance along the trade route from Scandinavia to Constantinople.
The rapids influenced the settlement patterns of Zaporozhian Cossacks, who utilized these natural barriers for defense against potential invaders.
The rapids disappeared in 1932 when the construction of Dnieper Hydroelectric Station created a reservoir that submerged the entire formation.
The Nenasytets Rapid, measuring 2.4 kilometers in length and over 1 kilometer in width, represented the largest and most dangerous section.
