Argentine authorities have temporarily closed the Iguazu Falls after water levels surged dramatically, driven by El Niño-related weather patterns. The famous cascades on the Argentine-Brazilian border have become dangerously swollen, prompting officials to suspend access to the park while conditions are monitored. The closure highlights the severe flooding impacts El Niño is bringing to the region this year.
Why now: El Niño-driven extreme water levels forced the unprecedented temporary closure of one of the world's most famous natural attractions.
