interesting place, tourist attraction
In the Indian Ocean can be observed an unusual natural anomaly - the illusion of an underwater waterfall, located off the coast of the peninsula of Le Morne Brabant in the southwest of Mauritius.
Deceptive landscapes formed by coral reefs, sand-wash and silt deposits, driven by strong underwater currents, seem bizarre cascades, whirlpool jets which fall directly on the ocean floor. Landscape, like graffiti painted by nature, is best viewed from a bird's flight, going on a sightseeing tour in a helicopter.
