The Morning Glory Spillway

Is this the result of dividing by zero? Nope - this is the Morning Glory Spillway, also known as "The Glory Hole".

This Spillway, the largest in the world, is the funnel-shaped outlet that allows water to bypass the Monticello Dam in California when it reaches capacity (1370 m³/s). The Glory Hole is located about 61m from the dam; the distance from the funnel to the exit point - which is situated in the south side of the canyon - is about 213m. The outside diameter is 22m, slowly narrowing to 8.5m at the exit. -TEL http://daviswiki.org/Morning_Glory_Spillway,http://www.fogonazos.es/2007/02/largest-drain-hole-ever.html
