Stanley Falls

Stanley Falls is a prominent waterfall located on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It marks a series of rapids and cascades where the river's flow dramatically descends over a steep section, creating a visually striking and powerful feature. Historically, it was a significant obstacle for navigation until the construction of the Inga Dam. The falls also played a role in exploring Africa's interior, being named after the explorer Henry Morton Stanley. Today, Stanley Falls is recognized for its natural beauty and importance in hydroelectric development, contributing to the region's energy production.
