The depth of the chasm, called the First
Gorge, varies from 80 meters at its western end to 108 meters in the center. The only outlet to the First Gorge is 110 meters wide gap about two-thirds of the way across the width of the falls from the western end, through which the whole volume of the river pours into the Victoria Falls gorges.
