Talnikovy Waterfall

About

The Talnikovy Waterfall is a 700m (2297ft) high seasonal waterfall in the Putorana Mountains, the northwestern part of the Central Siberian Plateau in the north of Siberia, Russia (Asia). With this height of fall from several cascades, it belongs to the highest Waterfalls on Earth. It is located in the Putorana Nature Reserve not far from the Lake Dyupkun. A small brook falls from the flat summit of the Mount Trapetsia ("Trapeze") into the Talnikova River, a left tributary of the Kureika River. Its height was estimated in 1990 to be 482 meters (1581ft), although some claim that the height of the entire cascade varies from 600 to 700 meters (1969-2297ft).
