In 1949, Ruth Robertson, a courageous American journalist and photographer, led an expedition into the Venezuelan jungle to measure Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. Accompanied by latvian Alejandro Laime, local explorers, and ten indigenous from the Kamarakoto tribe. Ruth faced inhospitable terrain, natural hazards, and technical challenges while connecting deeply with nature and the ancestral wisdom of the indigenous people. During the journey, Ruth not only confirmed the magnitude of Angel Falls but also discovered the transformative power of nature, marking a milestone in the history of exploration.
