The Waterfall That Is Not Water

Off the south-west tip of Mauritius, pale sand slides off a shallow shelf into more than 4,000 metres of dark ocean — and from the air it reads exactly like a waterfall draining into an abyss. It is not water falling. It is sand, carried off the edge by currents. From a boat you see only turquoise; from the beach, nothing. The waterfall only exists from high up, at the right angle, in clear sun. The second look is better than the first.
