Coca River gorge erosion, Ecuador, August 2020
Rapidly-eroding gorge around the Coca River (Rio Coca) in eastern Ecuador. This dramatic erosion followed the collapse of the riverbed at the San Rafael Falls, around three kilometres downstream from this location. The bed of the falls collapsed on 2nd February 2020, dropping the river flow from 150-metre-high top of the falls to the previous bottom. This began severe erosion of the river channel heading upstream from the falls, forming a steep gorge. The gorge moved back up the stream bed at up to 100 metres per day, destroying oil pipelines, roads and forest. There are fears that the erosion could reach back to the Coca Codo Sinclair Hydroelectric Dam 12 kilometres upstream, leading to a catastrophic collapse. Photographed on 12th August 2020.
