Victoria Falls from the Air
From high above in a helicopter, the entire length of Victoria Falls is visible, with the wide Zambezi river to the left flowing over the mile long crack in the earth, flowing down the canyon and under the bridge at top right. The water flow was relatively low when we visited in the winter dry season. After the rains, almost the whole length of the giant fissure would be covered in a torrent of water, and the sky filled with "the smoke that thunders."
Zambia is to the top and left, Zimbabwe to the right.
See the image in comments below for a ground level view of a portion of the falls. Anyone interested in more about "The Devil's Pool" can check it out at Snopes, here www.snopes.com/photos/natural/devilspool.asp or here www.devilspool.net/
