King Edward VIII Falls, Single plunge waterfall in Potaro-Siparuni, Guyana
The King Edward VIII Falls cascades 260 meters down the Semang River, forming a natural amphitheater within the Pacaraima Mountains escarpment.
Explorer Paul A. Zahl documented the waterfall in 1935, including photographs in his publication titled 'To the Lost World'.
The waterfall stands within territory that Venezuela claims as part of the Guiana Esequiba region, reflecting ongoing geographical disputes.
Access to the falls requires extensive preparation and local guidance due to its location in a remote section of the Potaro-Siparuni highlands.
The waterfall's erosion patterns through Precambrian quartzite and conglomerate reveal geological processes spanning millions of years.
