There are literally tens of thousands of spectacular waterfalls on the planet, no question about that.  But big questions start to arise when a list of the best of the best is developed.  Compiling something like this isn't easy, as we had to make several painful cuts, but in our opinions, this list represents the 100 best waterfalls this big blue globe has to offer.  There is no science to our selection methods, this is simply our opinion.  This list may periodicly change, depending on new information arising.

The Top 100
This first table shows our picks, (alphabetically) for the 100 Best Waterfalls on the planet. By default, the Top 10 are listed first, followed by the remaining 100. Clicking on the "sort" link next to each column header will re-order the table based on the desired characteristic.
