Vikos Gorge in the Pindus mountains is listed by Guinness World Records for which distinction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Deepest gorge in the world relative to its width
- Step 1: Vikos is listed as the world's "deepest relative to its width" gorge by the Guinness Book of Records among others. Answer: Deepest gorge in the world relative to its width. Why not the others: "Longest uninterrupted canyon system in Europe" is a title held by the Tara River Canyon in Montenegro; "Widest karst canyon on the European continent" does not correspond to Vikos, which is exceptionally narrow at its floor; "Highest continuous vertical cliff in the Balkans" refers to alpine faces such as the north wall of Triglav.
