Questions about this page

What are the best known waterfalls in Oceania?

Sutherland Falls in New Zealand leads the list. Waterfall near Milford Sound in New Zealand's South Island.

Which country in Oceania has the most?

Australia (85), New Zealand (71) and Samoa (2). That ranks how much Wikidata records, not what exists on the ground.

How much of the world is that?

159 of the 1,807 waterfalls on this atlas, so 9%. The rest are on the worldwide page.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
