EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of an island nestled on the Zambezi River, just upstream from the world-renowned Victoria Falls. The print showcases a stunning view of this isolated oasis during the dry season in October 2006. The photo highlights the striking contrast between Zimbabwe, located on the left (south) riverbank, and Zambia on the right (north). These two nations are divided by this majestic waterway that originates in northwest Zambia and meanders for an impressive 2574 kilometers before gracefully emptying into Mozambique's Indian Ocean. The island itself is adorned with lush woodlands, creating a verdant paradise amidst this vast expanse of flowing water. Its dense forested landscape adds to its allure, providing a haven for diverse flora and fauna unique to this region. This image not only showcases nature's grandeur but also emphasizes how geographical borders can be shaped by rivers like the Zambezi. It serves as a reminder of Africa's middle ground where nations coexist harmoniously despite their differences. Captured by Science Photo Library during an international expedition, this remarkable aerial photography print transports viewers to a moment frozen in time—a snapshot of untouched wilderness and natural wonder along one of Africa's most iconic rivers: The Zambezi.
