Amazing optical illusion.

In the Indian ocean, in the South-Western part of the island nation of Mauritius off the coast of the Peninsula of Le Morne Brabant is a unique place, known as an underwater waterfall. If you look from the height, the impression of a giant fissure in the sea floor, where huge flows of water flows.

But actually there is no waterfall here, and all that people see is just an optical illusion.

This effect is due to the movement of silt and sand under the influence of strong undercurrents.

The Peninsula of Le Morne Brabant along with his non-existent underwater waterfall, since 2008 located in the world heritage list of UNESCO.

Though an optical illusion and is visible from the shore, but the best way to enjoy this impressive sight from the air. Here even specifically carried out helicopter tours for tourists.
