King Edward VIII Falls is an single plunge waterfall found on the Semang River in the Potaro-Siparuni highlands, southern Guyana. Waterfall has formed on the escarpment of Pacaraima Mountains and has eroded the Precambrian quartzite and conglomerate, forming an amphitheatre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King Edward VIII Falls )〕 Falls was noted by explorer Paul A. Zahl in 1935 and a photograph of the falls is found in his book, "To the Lost World". This remote area is seldom visited. This waterfall often is confused with another waterfall - a lengthy set of rapids on the New River (itself a major tributary to the Corentyne River) named King Edward VI Falls (not to be confused with King George VI Falls, a tall plunge near the Venezuelan border).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King Edward VIII Falls )〕 There are several falls in Guyana that are named after kings and this has created some long standing confusion. ==References==
