Guy Captures The Moment A River Cuts A New Channel To The Ocean
"I noticed the river was very full, so I waited for around thirty minutes to see the spectacle unfold. I did not expect it to grow so fast into the raging torrent it became" - says the guy who has caught this marvelous moment on camera.
He captured an interesting natural phenomenon: the Mahlongwa River in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa breaching its bank and cutting a channel to the Indian Ocean. As the video above begins, you can see water from the river just starting to trickle down the sand into the sea.
Sand being sandy, the process happens pretty quickly. The trickle becomes a rushing torrent in a matter of just minutes. Because of the heavy rainfall, the water in the river surged up and it caused to overflow in the ocean.
