Schwartzenbach Falls

Schwartzenbach Falls, also known as Qulitasaniakvik, is a tiered horsetail waterfall located in the Weasel River Valley of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. With an overall height of 520 m, it is the 4th tallest waterfall in Canada and the tallest in Canada outside of British Columbia.

Name origin
The Inuktitut name for the waterfall is Qulitasaniakvik, which means "place to get caribou skins". The name refers to the valley above the falls being a good place to hunt for caribou.

Structure
The falls form from an unnamed stream that plummets 520 m down the western wall of the Weasel River Valley. The initial drop leaps 200 m over the edge of an inclined cliff and takes the form of a horsetail. This is followed by a series of four smaller cascades that descend an additional 320 m before the cliff gives way to a collection of talus deposits.
