Congratulations to the winners of the Trivia Game!
The first people to correctly identify the picture as Dunns
Rivers Falls in Jamaica were David Dowling, Joaquin Tribaldos
Parada and Kristin Fox.
Dunn's River Falls is a famous
waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica and a major Caribbean tourist
attraction. The falls empty into the Caribbean Sea. It is one
of the very few rivers in the world that actually fall directly
into the sea.
The waterfalls are staggered and
span some 180 metres (600 feet). Several small lagoons exist
there, interspersed between the vertical sections of the falls.
Climbing up the waterfalls is a popular tourist activity and
is often, but not exclusively performed with the help of tour
guides from the park. The side of the falls is covered with lush,
green vegitation that help shade the area from the sun. This
helps keep the water cool as people try and climb the waterfall.
The falls can be walked up with relative ease: often a human
chain is used snaking up the falls behind the tour guide.
