Zæjgælan, Mountain waterfall in North Ossetia, Russia.
The Zeygalan waterfall cascades down 648 meters through the Midagrabindon River valley, creating multiple streams of water flowing from glacial sources.
Research expeditions in 2016 conducted measurements of the waterfall, confirming its status among the tallest waterfalls in the North Caucasus region.
The name Zeygalan originates from the Ossetian language, translating to 'place of avalanche,' reflecting the natural phenomena occurring in this mountain area.
The water flow reaches its maximum volume during July and August when glacier melting intensifies, while winter months experience reduced water levels.
The waterfall exhibits a pulsating characteristic, with water flow patterns changing throughout the year based on seasonal glacier melt patterns.
