Scope and Contents
Livingstone Falls, a series of 32 rapids and cataracts on the Congo River, extending for about 220 miles (354 km) between Kinshasa and Matadi in Congo (Kinshasa) and partially along the border with Congo (Brazzaville). The total drop of the falls is about 850 feet (260 m), despite only minor rapids over an 87-mile (140-kilometre) stretch to Isangila. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
