Waterfalls

While planning a trip to Strathcona Provincial Park located at the heart of Vancouver Island, BC, I've looked at different waterfalls and compared them to Della Falls, which is considered to be the tallest in Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Della_Falls). It is 440 m high. There are other waterfalls in BC which reach up to 600 m. However, Della Falls wins with its continuous drop.

Niagara Falls - 51 m high, 792 m wide (Horseshoe, Canadian part) and 323 m wide (US). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls
Victoria Falls - 108 m high, 1.7 km wide, making it the largest sheet of falling water in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_falls).
