Seshadri Raju,

The Iguazu Falls in Brazil are one of the natural wonders of the world. At close quarters, the falls are obscured in a shroud of spray mist, its fearsome power intimated by only a thunderous roar. A perpetual rainbow dances across the narrow chasm, named the Devil's Throat by early settlers. The spectacle is beguiling, giving no hint of the danger lurking below. There is some commonality, however tendentious, between Cataratas do Iguaçu and iliac-caval flow. Both display “supercritical flow,” one of many unique features in venous hemodynamics.
