7 of The Most Lethal Rivers in the world - Page 6 of 9

Congo River

This river which snakes around Africa is often referred to as “The Heart of Darkness” and why not. It is the second largest river in the world by discharge of water and is mouthed by the Atlantic Ocean. This river is almost impossible to navigate because its 3000 mile long waterway hosts a 75 mile long canyon also known as “The Gates of Hell”. It scares to even write about it let alone explore it. The deepest area in the river was measured to be 220 meters.
