Correct response: What is Victoria Falls?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
David Livingstone wrote of his sighting of Victoria Falls on the upper Zambezi River in his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa. Interestingly, Livingstone underestimated his descriptions of Victoria Falls in the work, estimating the river as a thousand yards across at the falls with a drop of 100 feet; in actuality, the Zambezi River is about a mile wide at the top of the falls, with a drop of about 350 feet. Today, the falls sit on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
