All of the contents in this book are strictly protected by copyright. The photos in this book are carefully sampled from about 6,000 photos taken during five visits to Iguasu Falls both in Brazil and in Argentina since May of 2003.

To my lovely wife, Haekyung, thanking her all the time

It is said that there are three giant water falls in the world, which are Niagara Falls in North America, Victoria Falls in Southern Africa, and Iguazu Falls in Latin America. Besides their tremendous sizes, I like Iguazu Falls the best in that it is located in the untouched and natural area - most thick and beautiful forest, Amazon Jungle. It is distributed across Brazil and Argentina, and two Iguazu national parks in Argentina and in Brazil are sharing numerous Iguazu Falls, and these were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1987, respectively.

I have visited Iguazu Falls times since 2001 when I did not take any cameras with me. At the second visit in 2003, I took Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F707 and I just took just few photos for Iguazu Falls. The majority of Iguazu Falls photos are taken from my third visit in 2007 with Nikon D200 till my 6th visit in 2013 with Nikon D800E.

When I composed the contents of this book, I included their EXIF information for each photo to help readers figure out how to take these photos. At the first page of each chapter, I markd its

approximate point to take photos on the map with some descriptions concerning this photo point. I did not include any other interpretation nor titles for photos for the sake of readers' subjective interpretations.

All photos taken during the past years are mixed up in their order in this book but it is quite interesting and fortunate that photo taking dates are indistinguishable because the scenery of Iguazu Falls has not changed at all for these years. The only changes are in photo image resolutions (Nikon D200's 10.2megapixels in 2007 to Nikon D800E's 36.3megapixels in 2013). I hope that this scenery of Iguazu Falls would not change forever.

This book is the digital ebook version following the previous print version published in 2017. In preparing this digital version, I changed the CMYK format to RGB format appropriate for digital publishing. And, I included some aditional maps and I enlarged all photos to cover the whole spread of two pages to help readers appreciate this photo book vividly.

Prologue

Finally, I would like to mention that I owe my family, especially my wife, Haekyung to publishing this book, who always encouraged me to publish photo books from my huge database of photos.

I am planning to publish a series of photo books, including Death Valley, Angkor Watt, Terrace Rice Field of China, and the Western Part of US. This book is my second trial for publishing photo books, where I sampled around photos for this book, from 6,000 photos I have taken for years.
