World's Most Spectacular Waterfalls | Our Funny Planet
Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the world, as well as the tallest single drop in the world and one of the eight natural wonders of the world. The waterfall is 979 meters high (3,212 ft) and it drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State, Venezuela . Pilot Jimmy Angel is widely credited for discovering the falls in 1937, but the true discoverer was one Ernesto de Santa Cruz, who found the falls in 1910.

This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die | Design for Good | Big Think
You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be).
