Congo The Grand Inga project (D)

Based on their volume, Congo River`s Ingda Raoids are the world`s largest rapids. South African Expedition leader Steve Fisher who has worked with Tyler Bradt and Rush Sturges from US and Benny Marr from Canada said, ``It was easily the closest I`ve ever come to dying``.He even encountered whirlpools that were 40 feet across 20 foot waves. At 1.6 million cubic feet per second, these 50-mile strech of rapids cover 150 miles from Kinshasa rages which is a torrent four times the volume of a Mississippi forced into a channel that`s one-fifth wide.
